Multicultural Education
•Teachers need to be careful not to perpetuate stereotypes though the reading of ethnic literature
–I watch out that in exposing one aspect of a culture you don’t make that aspect the underlying example of everyone from that culture. Such as, if you are studying Caesar Chavez make sure that you study other non-farming oriented Mexican-Americans.
–Also, the best examples of culture come from the people themselves.  Get the culture presented by someone from the culture, it will hold more meaning and validity.
–Let children choose their own examples and point out others from the same ethnic group and how their ideas were the same and/or different.
–Look at the type and source of multicultural literature, make sure that it is accurate, up-to-date, and good literature.
–Teach multiculturally, not multiculturalism.
