This title provides the historical background, basic terminology, and social science concepts involved in multicultural education that teachers need before they enter the field. A curriculum model with six goals is provided, with many lesson plans showing how each goal can be implemented in the classroom. Both theory and practice in the text present interdisciplinary content through primary source material and vignettes of actual teachers and students, and encourage interactions between students' cultural and individual differences. Bennett aims to foster the idea that understanding and valuing students' individual differences allows teachers to encourage each student to reach his or her fullest potential.

From the Back Cover
Christine Bennett aims to help prepare teachers who are informed and caring advocates for students from all cultural, racial, socioeconomic, linguistic, and national backgrounds. Comprehensive Multicultural Education provides a curriculum model with six goals and numerous lesson plans illustrating how each goal can be implemented in the classroom. It emphasizes diversity within and across ethnic groups to help teachers understand students’ cultural and individual differences. Incorporating research from current sociology, history, and ethnogeography, the author makes key issues like immigration accessible for today’s teachers.

What reviewers are saying:
"The examples and cases are students' favorites. The quality of the information presented [in this text] is excellent."
- Henry M. Codjoe, Dalton State College
“I like the emphasis placed on ethnic and national groups covered in Part II. Other texts don't cover this topic to the extent that this text does. I particularly like her treatment of immigration and how it has impacted our nation and our schools."
-Richard Orem, Northern Illinois University
“More areas of diversity were covered than are found in most texts of this nature. Overall, the writing style is great. It is easy to read, has a narrative feel."
-Anita Jones Thomas, Loyola University - Chicago
