MultiCultural: Previewing Questions
- What would be the advantages of collaborating with community members on a school project? How does this increase student learning?
- In a diverse setting, how would school-community collaboration increase awareness of ethnic and cultural groups? In a setting that is not diverse, would school-community collaboration also increase this awareness? How can teachers facilitate this awareness?
- Within the tenets of democracy, steps are given to enhance tolerance. How can teachers use these steps to encourage tolerance?
MultiCultural: Post-viewing Questions
- One of the goals of multicultural education
is intercultural/interethnic/intergroup understanding in the classroom, school, and community. How did this activity promote relationships between school and community? What strategies did Pratt utilize to build these relationships?
- Review the four approaches to multicultural curriculum reform. Would any of these approaches be appropriate in a computer-aided drafting and design
(CADD) course? Explain.
- Review the demographics of the school population listed in Pratt’s
lesson plan. How can multicultural education be incorporated into a course such as this one with a largely White student population?
