Multicultural Education of Children and Adolescents (5th Edition)
 Multicultural Education of Children and Adolescents, Fifth EditionBy M. Lee Manning and Leroy G. Baruth This major revision provides the most up-to-date information on the foundations of diversity and individual cultural groups. It also provides practical strategies for shaping and implementing a multicultural curriculum. For this fifth edition, the authors revisited their three-part framework and updated every chapter with new scenarios, references, and opportunities for reflection.  Part I provides a definition of multicultural education that includes all types of diversity and explores a variety of foundational issues and models. Part II focuses on various cultural groups to help preservice teachers better understand the backgrounds of diverse learners and the strategies for working with them. Finally, Part III offers teacher candidates a series of chapters that help them apply concepts of the book to their practice: planning a multicultural curriculum, using the most effective instructional practices, working successfully with families of diverse students, and collaborating with school personnel and administrators to implement a multicultural program. What’s new in the fifth edition:Every chapter opens with a real-life storythat introduces the subject matter by showing the ideas in action.Points to Ponderboxes urge readers to reflect more deeply on information they have just read.Chapter 2 has been significantly revisedto focus entirely on various types of diversity–beyond race and ethnicity–in school and society.Each chapter in Part II now featuresexpanded sections on socioeconomic status and conditionsof each ethnic group.Part II also featurescautionary notes to reinforce the necessity of avoiding stereotypeswhen studying strategies for working with various ethnic groups.A new appendix of children’s literatureprovides an annotated list of developmentally appropriate literature that can help K—12 learners understand their cultural heritages.More than 120 new references provide up-to-the-moment information, replacing 80 percent of the previous edition’s references with fresh resources.
