This wide-ranging book escapes temporal, spatial, and disciplinary boundaries. Read it and reflect on how you can take it into your own life of learning.” —Shirley Brice Heath, Professor Emerita, Stanford University “Early childhood educators will experience this unique book as a warm and detailed invitation to engage in multicultural education. The emphasis throughout is on “multi”—multiple pedagogical approaches, from culture circles to podcasts to story acting, and multiple cultural heritages embodied by active children and teachers. From a critical perspective and alongside creative teachers who aspire to be transformative, Souto-Manning links accessible theory with rich and thoughtful practices.” —Celia Genishi, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University “Mariana Souto-Manning’s Multicultural Teaching in the Early Childhood Classroom rightly places the use of deficit thinking and ineffective teaching strategies in the wasteland of classroom instruction. The author superbly documents and explains ways of teaching multiculturally that will richly benefit the learning of all students and make teaching become the fun that teachers dreamed it would be when they first said, ‘I want to teach because I love kids.’” —Carl A. Grant, Hoefs-Bascom Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison “Multicultural Teaching in the Early Childhood Classroom encourages teachers to honor, affirm, and challenge even our very youngest children to think inclusively, critically, and democratically—a necessity if we are to help develop knowledgeable, caring, and empowered learners.” —Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Book Synopsis Multicultural Children in the Early Years by : Peter Woods
Download or read book Multicultural Children in the Early Years written by Peter Woods and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do multicultural children and their parents experience the very beginning of their school careers? How do teachers mediate the demands of the educational system, and how do the children adapt? What kind of access to the National Curriculum is offered to multicultural children? Originally published in 1999, the authors answer these questions by drawing on two years' intensive research in three multi-ethnic institutions. They explore teachers' values and beliefs and how they attempt to put them into practice. They describe how, at times, teachers were constrained to get things done because of pressures operating on them, but at other times, taught creatively in a way particularly relevant to the children's concerns and cultures. The authors studied the children's experiences on their transition into school, and argue that they were inducted into not only a general pupil role, but also one based on an anglicised model of pupil. Opportunities for learning which children found most meaningful came notably from free play, but these became gradually more limited as they engaged with the National Curriculum. These young children were forming complex identities as they sought to respond to the varying influences operating them. Their parents saw a cultural divide opening up between home and school. Many suggestions for practice and policy are made in the course of the book and are still relevant today.

Book Synopsis Multicultural Educational Experiences in Rural Education Programs. Lessons from Early Childhood Programs by : Lydiah Nganga
Download or read book Multicultural Educational Experiences in Rural Education Programs. Lessons from Early Childhood Programs written by Lydiah Nganga and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Public schools in the United States are still segregated along cultural and racial lines 50 years after the 1954 Supreme Court's ruling. For example, Orfield and Lee, 2004; and Orfield, 2001) indicated that White student in the United States attended schools that were 80 percent White. Ethnic minority children (children of color), Latino students especially, attended schools that were 50-100 percent ethnic. In addition, a third (37.4%) of African American children attended schools that were 90-100 percent children of color (Frankenberg, Lee, and Orfield, 2003). Rural schools are equally segregated along racial and cultural lines. According to the Rural School and Community Trust (2000), children of color in rural America attended schools that were 76 percent culturally and racially segregated. Additionally, educators in rural schools were predominantly monocultural and monoracial (Nganga, 2005). School segregation based on culture and race is potentially harmful to learning. Data show that cultural and racial integration has the potential to increase academic success for all learners (Dilworth, 1990; Irvine, 1989 and Smith, 2004). In the current climate of the federal mandate, No Child Left Behind Act, it is critical to employ teaching practices and curricula that increase the likelihood of academic success for all learners including children from cultures other than the dominant one. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate multicultural curriculum issues in early childhood programs (licensed and exempt) in rural communities in the Rocky mountain region. In previous studies, there was little effort directed at investigating the nature of multicultural education in rural schools. Of particular interest was ways in which existing instructional strategies and curricula was addressing diverse learning needs, including those pertaining to culture and race. The researchers intended to also provide a rather a comprehensive review of the available critical literature in support of instructional strategies and curriculum approaches that maximize learning for all. Data Collection and Analysis: A survey instrument was mailed to 200 program administrators with a 50 percent return rate. In-depth interviews with five purposively selected early childhood educators provided space for data triangulation. Both qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods were used. A One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) determined the relationships between variables. Findings: Data showed that participating programs served children between 0-12 years old. Responding administrators were overwhelmingly monocultural, monoracial and female (98%) educating a predominantly monoracial and monocultural student population. There was a positive correlation (r = 0.446, p = less than 0.01) between national accreditation and the availability of multicultural curricula. Federal funding was, however, negatively correlated (r = -0.108, p = 0.368) with encouraging teachers to teach to diversity. Concerning curriculum implementation, 42 percent of the programs had written multicultural policies/guidelines but only 33 percent required teachers to follow these guidelines. An examination of curricula issues indicated that 33 percent of the programs always introduced learners to other cultures using multicultural books, posters and pictures, dolls, drama and musical items. However, cultures represented in the community did not appear to influence the process of preparing instructional curricula. Community resources expose monocultural and monoracial learners to cultures other than their own. A total of 41 percent of the programs provided a variety of professional development activities and teaching materials to help teachers teach to human diversity. Conclusion: Because data showed evidence of continuing segregation in rural America, a stronger and detailed approach to multicultural education is warranted. Such an approach entails providing written multicultural curriculum policies/guidelines, recruiting multicultural and multiracial teachers and learners, providing the necessary professional development activities and learning resources, and bringing communities into the school as well as taking programs into the community. In addition, community resources should influence instructional materials. This approach to multicultural education could easily alleviate the cultural and racial isolation experienced in overwhelmingly monocultural and monoracial rural schools.
