Multicultural Education
Multicultural Education: A pedagogical approach that values, affirms, and incorporates the histories, cultures, languages, traditions, and perspectives of diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural groups into all aspects of schooling. It strives to create equitable educational opportunities for all students by recognizing and addressing issues of power, privilege, prejudice, and discrimination in education. Multicultural Education includes but is not limited to English Education and English Composition, as it seeks to develop critical thinking skills, intercultural understanding, and social justice awareness across the curriculum. It fosters respect for diversity, inclusivity, and global citizenship while promoting academic excellence and personal growth.
