Human Diversity in Education: An Integrative Approach

by Kenneth;McClelland Philip L. Cushner

The third edition of Human Diversity in An Integrative Approach continues to address the preparation of teachers for the wide diversity of students they are certain to meet in their classrooms, schools, and communities. The book continues to provide a broad treatment of the various forms of human diversity found in today's schools; including nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, class, language, sexual orientation, and ability levels. This book maintains its unique approach; that is, its research-based cross-cultural psychological emphasis on how people learn about culture. The book is based on the assumption that it is at the level of the individual teacher where the change that must occur with regard to diversity in schools begins. It assumes that teachers must learn to incorporate issues of diversity in all their teaching, not simply teaching about members of minority groups. In the third edition new case studies are used to introduce major concepts at the start of chapters and brief cases called critical incidents are used to focus attention on key concepts at the end of chapters.
