What's New

REVISED EXPLANATION OF THE TEXT'S APPROACH: Chapter 1 has been expanded and improved to more effectively explain the text's unique, caring-centered approach. The caring-centered approach is illustrated through a case example of Caswell Country Training School, a segregated black school that exemplified a "caring" school.

CHAPTER ON SECOND LANAGUAGE LEARNERS: The new Chapter 9 discusses second language learners and contains a unique section written by a bilingual classroom teacher.

NEW COVERAGE: The text includes new or expanded coverage of homophobia, sexual identity, myths of race, classism, Milton Bennett's model of Intercultural Sensitivity, white privilege, the Lemon Grove Incident, Martin Luther King, Jr., terminology, The Racial Privacy Act, the influence of content knowledge, and "Diversity Within Unity: Essential Principles for Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society."

EXPANDED VISUAL PROGRAM: More cartoons related to the content and real-classroom photographs (taken by the author herself) have been added to help illustrate key themes of the text.

ENHANCED PEDAGOGY: The chapter pedagogy has been expanded to include chapter-opening outlines, learning objectives, related Web sites, case studies, Teacher Reflection activities, 3 "Take A Stand" boxes (addresses Title IX, Mascots and Bilingual Education), chapter summaries, key terms, and recommended readings and resources.

REAL CLASSROOM EXAMPLES: Many real-life vignettes and stories about students and teachers are woven throughout the text and truly illustrate Pang's caring-centered approach.

APPROACH: Pang's caring-centered, reflective approach--unique within the multicultural education textbook marketplace--encourages students to infuse their teaching with thought, care, and a commitment to social justice.

WRITING STYLE: Accessible, conversational writing style and tone that immediately engages readers and perfectly suits pre-service teachers.
