Multicultural Service Learning

This in-depth look at the relationship between service learning and issues of diversity is a virtual blueprint for helping teachers (both pre- and in-service) to work better within their diverse classes and to bring increased understanding of diversity issues to all classrooms. Because there is only so much you can teach about culture, difference, and power in a university classroom, service learning is becoming an essential companion to multicultural teacher education. This volume shows how the author collaborated with community partners and pre-service teachers to jointly construct the service learning supplement to a multicultural education course - from the bottom up.
