Educational Quality for all Students
Overview
Researchers have documented various factors that have hampered the integration of multicultural curricula in schools. But the institutionalization of diverse content into school curricula has made significant progress in the last several years. Examine current research on how multiculturalism is being integrated into the grade level at which you teach or plan on teaching.
