Multicultural Education
The civil rights movement of the 1960’s, brought to the surface the need
for an educational system that educated all students. To address this
need, the multicultural education movement arose to provide social
justice, democracy and equity of the diverse groups by incorporating
cultural differences into curriculum. Each instructor will probably
have his/ her own definition dependent upon his/ her views of how to
integrate and use it in the curriculum.
It is appropriate for instructors to teach students to take pride in their own culture, but students must also be taught to respect the culture of other students.
