For courses in multicultural education or multicultural curriculum, and elementary, secondary and K-12 methods courses.
With its concrete, focused cases, the third edition of this casebook again focuses on the wealth of multicultural and diversity issues faced by today's teachers. Its authentic cases offer opportunities for analysis on several levels and are sufficiently complex so as to invite multiple interpretations. They present examples of everyday situations involving gender, ethnicity, race, religion, language, affectional orientation, socioeconomic status, parents, and community...even technology. The cases involve classroom issues that are relevant to all grade levels and all content areas, allowing instructors significant flexibility in their use.

From the Back Cover
With the increasing diversity in today’s schools, A Casebook for Exploring Diversity is an excellent supplemental text for preservice teachers in multicultural, inclusive, or urban education courses, as well as for inservice teachers and participants in professional development workshops. Its 37 real-life case studies represent scenarios that could occur in any school–urban, suburban, or rural–and at any grade level. They address the topics of gender, ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, religion, special needs, sexual orientation, language, and ageism. Each case study, followed by questions and activities, will help you develop your interpersonal skills, better understand your students, and broaden your multicultural horizons in a classroom setting.
Features of the Third Edition:
- NEW! Glossary of selected terms relating to diversity, for reference while reading and engaging in discussion.
- NEW! Chapter 10 addresses ageism with cases focusing on age-related issues in the classroom.
- NEW! Bibliography of multicultural children’s literature for P-12 students, for use in completing the Questions for Reflection and Activities for Extending Thinking.
- NEW! Sample rubrics for assessing students’ responses to cases in the text, for self-assessment, peer-assessment, or instructor-assessment.
- Questions for Reflection following each case invite students to collect further data, consider alternative perspectives, share their thoughts, and formulate individual or group responses.
- Activities for Extending Thinking after each case encourage readers to relate their insights to other course texts, to their field experience, to the lesson and unit planning process, and to local, state, and national standards in teacher education.
- Design Your Own Case allows readers to become actively involved in case design by writing their own case studies.
- Resources for further study are provided in the form of Readings for Extending Thinking and Internet Sites for Extending Thinking in each chapter.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
