BUILDING A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY  ~ Multicultural Issues in the K-12 Classroom

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Thomas F. McEvilly III, Education Consultant
GRADE LEVEL: K-12
CREDIT: 2 or 3

 

The multicultural issues facing today's student, teacher, staff, and administration include the following:  What is culture?  What is family?  What's the difference between a melting pot and tapestry concept?  How do we deal with stereotypes, hate, racism, and bashing?  What is the difference between an economic refugee and political refugee? This class prepares classroom teachers, English as a Second Language teachers, social workers, guidance counselors, administrators, and others to apply a multicultural perspective to classroom activities and to work toward resolution of community problems centering on cultural conflict.    This class will address Asian, African, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American cultural perspectives.  This class also includes issues regarding the disabilities, gender, orientation, and the current changes and multicultural classifications.

Plan for lots of walking.  This class goes out, almost daily, to see multiculture in our society.
