This booklet provides information on how schools can respond to their increasingly diverse student populations. Chapters summarize research on the effects of traditional American education practices on minority students and offer practical suggestions for change. Following the introduction, five chapters focus on curriculum, instruction, school policies, staffing, and special encouragement. Each chapter concludes with a list of self-evaluation questions to help educators examine how their school addresses its multicultural student body. (Contains 105 references.) (LMI)
