Based on the assumption that it is at the level of the individual teacher where the change that must occur with regard to diversity in schools begins, it assumes that teachers must learn to incorporate issues of diversity in all of their teaching, including, but not limited to their interactions with children, parents, other teachers and the community.
The text contains introductory case studies that are referred back to in a series of chapter-ending critical incidents that prompt students to apply what they learned in the chapter. Important topics covered include: intercultural development of individuals, globalization and international education, religion in society and schools, gender and sexuality, exceptionality, and diversity with respect to early childhood.

From the Publisher
Pedagogical System. A pedagogical system has been implemented including a chapter outline, objectives, bolded key terms, marginal Web links, an Online Learning Center chapter review, summary, reflection questions, and active exercises.
Updated Content. All chapters have been updated to reflect current scholarship and trends. Specific new coverage includes an emphasis on globalization, expanded focus on linguistic diversity and bilingual education and a new chapter in intercultural development (Ch. 4).
Connected to Human Diversity in Action. Throughout the text, appropriate activities from the Human Diversity in Action student workbook are referenced in the margins. Human Diversity in Action: Developing Multicultural Competencies for the Classroom, 2nd ed. provides an array of interactive exercises to engage students in culture learning about self and others.
Online Learning Center. An Online Learning Center now accompanies the text. At the end of each chapter, students are pointed towards the chapter review activities in the online Student Study guide that is housed on the Online Learning Center. In addition, the Web links listed in the margins are available on this site.
Two-Part Organization. Part I provides the background to the current multicultural education movement, explains how cultural differences develop in groups and individuals, and how individuals with different cultural identities go through the same adjustment process when confronted with cross-cultural situations. Part II then examines what teachers can do to make their multicultural classrooms into effective learning communities, that is, into classrooms that are collaborative, inclusive, developmentally appropriate, globally oriented, and religiously pluralistic. Historical background of multicultural education is embedded throughout these chapters.
Comprehensive Coverage of Diversity. The text examples multiple forms of diversity including religious, social class and status, sexual orientation, the ability/disability continuum, etc. in order to provide students will a full understanding of their future student's diversities.
Inclusive Approach. Human Diversity in Education applies 'multicultural' to all students - not just minority groups.
Focus on Individuals. Rather than focusing on groups, the authors have chosen to focus on intercultural interactions between individuals. There may very well be more diversity within a group than between groups, and students should come to realize that diversity acts on many levels, even within homogeneous groups.
