This book sets prejudice reduction at the center of democratic school responses to cultural diversity. It provides information which will help teachers achieve a greater awareness of their own values and extend their professional objectives to eliminating prejudice. The book begins by discussing the tenacity and complexity of racial and other prejudices, taking into account four major influences: personality, social structure, culture, and environment. The book identifies a flexible model for systematizing the process of prejudice reduction, elaborating the case for both whole-school and whole-curricular policies. The curricular rationale proposed comprises seven major elements. Based on a scan of the literature, these elements are translated into a discussion of 12 key exemplary teaching approaches, setting forth their strengths, weaknesses, and proven potential in achieving attitude change. The book also attempts to identify the dynamic factors found in schools effective in reducing prejudice. The central role of material resources and continued professional development are discussed, and content, strategy, and principles are proposed. Examples from Great Britain are provided. (PS)
