Becoming a multicultural educator : developing awareness, gaining skills, and taking action / William A. Howe, Albertus Magnus College, Penelope L. Lisi, Professor Emerita, Central Connecticut State University.

Howe, William A. (Author). Lisi, Penelope L. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Development of the fourth edition of this book has allowed us the opportunity to reconsider what we worked so hard to include in the first three editions and the ways in which we addressed the content. Based on reviewer and reader comments and suggestions, plus the authors' own teaching of courses using this textbook, we have retained many of the same features from the other editions that appear to be serving our audience so well. At the same time, we have refined the presentation of the material in ways that we believe will add even greater depth to discussions of and engagement in becoming an effective multicultural educator. As with the first three editions, our approach to working on the fourth edition meant that both of us reviewed and rewrote, individually and collaboratively, all 12 chapters. The revision process is informed by the fact that our own work in multicultural education continues to evolve. We hope you, our readers, find the result even more useful than before!"-- Provided by publisher.
