James Banks (1979)-Father of MEFive Dimensions of ME ME- “educators should carefully define concepts such
as multiethnic and multicultural education and delineate the boundaries implied by these concepts” (p. 237).
Content integration, knowledge construction process, prejudice reduction, equity pedagogy, and empowering school culture and social structure (2004).

Sonia Nieto (1992) Seven Characteristics of ME “multicultural education in a sociopolitical
context” addresses the context of communities, and the process of education, in terms of elasticity rather than as a fixed and static form (2008, p. 7).”
“antiracist, basic, important for all students, pervasive, education for social justice, a process and critical pedagogy” (Nieto & Bode, 2008, p. 44).

Christine Sleeter and Carl Grant Cornerstone on the field of ME The goal of Teaching the Exceptional and
the Culturally Different, is to equip students with the academic skills, concepts, and values to function in American society's institutions and culture. (modifying instruction and curriculum, commonly called differentiated instruction.)

Sleeter and Grant Human relationships Single-Group Studies Self-reflexively dubbed multicultural education:
promotes a range of goals: the value of cultural diversity, human rights, respect for differences, alternative life choices, social justice, equal opportunity, and equitable distribution of power.
Education that is Multicultural and Social Reconstructionist, which describes a complete redesign of an educational program.

Geneva Gay (2004) on ME “shifting contours of multicultural education” some
of the reasons for the developmental changes in its intention, implementation, and effectiveness (p. 193). She demonstrates how multicultural education has changed over time by discussing it as a relatively young field, stemming from the time of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), that has grown through developmental phases.
curriculum desegregation and equity pedagogy.

Critics of ME (-)Excessive emphasis on race and ethnicity as
divisive (-)Accuse proponents of teaching to special interest
groups to disunite America (Schlesinger, 1998) (-)Teaching self-esteem at expense of academic rigor (+) Employs a range of strategies that aim for
rigorous academic achievement for all students (+) inclusion of the knowledge, experiences,
perspectives, and accomplishments of previously marginalized groups. This would be one of many approaches to ME
(+) asserts democratic American ideals by upholding the unalienable constitutional right for every student to be prepared for full participation in society.

Criticism for Teachers from the Experts
ME educators need to view at the sociopolitical context of individuals and institutions
Avoid- labeling students or compartmentalizing them
![Page 12: EDBE 3480 Issues in Multiculturalism and Bilingualism](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816733550346895ddbe041/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Understanding Culture and Identity Historically, in U.S. society and in many school
contexts, seen culture as static object, as a thing to have.
Culture is (should be understood and viewed as a) practice of living, learning, performing, negotiating, and translating multiple experiences for oneself and one's community.
Culture is ever changing- human identity, knowledge are not set or contained within boundaries.
![Page 13: EDBE 3480 Issues in Multiculturalism and Bilingualism](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816733550346895ddbe041/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Criticisms Sleeter and Bernal (2004) “Ironically, (given its historical roots), a good
deal of what occurs within the arena of multicultural education today does not address the power relations critically, particularly racism” (p. 240).
McLaren and Torres (1999) argue, “in general, discourses in the US that deal with multiculturalism deal very little with the concept of racism and focus instead on the politics and affirmation of difference” (p. 44).
Nieto, Bode, Raible, and Kang (2008) concur: “the political and transformative theories of multicultural education have often been neglected when translated into practice.
As a result, even though multicultural education has made an important contribution to schools and communities, few long-term institutional changes have taken root” (p. 178).
Gloria Ladson-Billings (2004) demands an examination of the intertwining of racialized identities with the political and economic history, and current social order of the United States. She notes a “new citizenship” being taken up by some people of color “who want to remake their world into a more just and equitable one” (p. 117). She sees the challenge for educators “to reveal and incite the power of democratic ideals for marginalized students in U.S. schools” (p. 122).

Challenges The challenge of translating multicultural
theory into practice and maintaining a critical, transformative focus is increased by the contemporary globalized social order that is exponentially changing the way in which many scholars and educators understand culture and identity.
