Children and Intercultural Education: Some Minorities Speak Out; Overview and Research; Are There Unwanted Guests in Your Classroom?
Association for Childhood Education International, Washington, DC.
"Children and Intercultural Education" culminates the Association for Childhood Education International's three-year emphasis on a project, "Neighbors Unlimited," in which thousands of members and their local branches worked to broaden and intensify efforts toward bettering intergroup relations. This resource kit of three booklets is aimed at those educating children in the home, in school or through other programs, and at those whose concern is in making intercultural education an integral part of all learning. Part 1 gives the reader insight into how minorities feel about themselves. Part 2 develops the concept of cultural pluralism, frames the need for development of cultural awareness in children at an early age, and states the importance of second-culture experiences. Research related to children's prejudices is explored; implications are considered. In part 3, 11 educators examine the content of programs and practices that may make minorities feel unwelcome and inadequate in the classroom. Attention is also focused on the identity crises faced by the black, Chicano and Puerto Rican child; myths about native Americans; and testing and evaluating. Questions of busing and multicultural instructional materials are discussed. (Author/JM)
