Drawing on his own experience, David Houlton here highlights the ways in which teachers in infant, junior and middle schools can give a truly multicultural dimension to their work. The book begins with an historical account of the linguistic and cultural variety which have long been a feature of British life, but have only rarely been given due attention in schools. This overview is then related to the development of multicultural education as a concept informing educational policy and practice. Subsequent chapters examine how ethnic and cultural differences affect children's lives; the professional needs of teachers; and the concerns of ethnic minority parents. Examples are given of successful multicultural practices currently to be found in primary classrooms, and the final chapter considers how schools can develop and implement an effective policy on multicultural education. David Houlton has also written \"All our Languages\" and \"Supporting Children's Bilingualism\". He is director of a European Commission funded project \"Supporting Linguistic Diversity\".","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49556255211793,"sku":"GOR004131970","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631545950481,"sku":"GOR002816943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0713448652.jpg?v=1751106046"},{"product_id":"multicultural-education-in-white-schools-book-sally-tomlinson-9780713457865","title":"Multicultural Education in White Schools","description":"Designed to be a concise and comprehensive study highlighting the issues facing teachers dealing with ethnic diversity in the classroom.

Arguing that the answer must lie in the continuing development, in partnership with their colleagues and the wider community, in curricula which fully reflect the nature of that society, the author provides, for teachers, students, school governers and others involved in the provision of education, a guide to current thinking on the multicultural curriculum and to the practical initiatives which are available for its construction and implementation. The book draws on material both from the United Kingdom and other countries such as Australia, USA and Canada. It sets out the case for multicultural education and the social ethic and principles which are fundamental to it; the opportunities and challenges which the multicultural curriculum offers to teachers; a model for the construction of such a curriculum with examples of existing systems; and ways in which the community can and should participate in the process. Previous books by the author include \"Education for Community\", and \"Teaching in the Multicultural School\".","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50478301151505,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50478301741329,"sku":"GOR004297772","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0713445106.jpg?v=1750700152"},{"product_id":"home-and-school-in-multicultural-britain-book-sally-tomlinson-9780713414905","title":"Home and School in Multicultural Britain","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53023168495889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53023168528657,"sku":"GOR005949597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780713414905.jpg?v=1768394035"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/education-in-a-multicultural-society-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
