Multiethnic/multicultural curriculum resource materials
A number of written materials are produced and disseminated through
VWH Associates that are designed to implement multiethnic awareness
in the classrooms. Theyoffer suggestions for all grade levels on
a number of issues dealing with building self-esteem, cooperation,
trust, listening and a number of other areas. Some specifically
deal with multiethnic/multicultural curriculum for students
considered to be "at risk." In this case that means students from
ethnic groups considered to be outside of the dominant culture.
Many of the materials provide suggestions to teachers on
diversifying their classrooms as well as ideas on where to seek
further materials.
