An Educational Psychology of Methods in Multicultural Education cover

The United States of America is a multilingual and multicultural nation made up of people of culturally, economically, religiously, and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Designed to appeal to all educators, this book was written to help prospective educators address socio-cultural questions, ideas, issues, and curiosities they encounter in multicultural education. Differences in race, ethnicity, culture, religion, social class, and socio-economic status call for comprehensive multicultural education—not only for students, but also for teachers. Today’s pre-service and in-service educators—teachers, administrators, parents, and teacher candidates—need to understand how students of various cultures feel, learn, understand, and behave in elementary and secondary schools as well as how these students adjust and adapt to the mainstream society in the communities where they live. The information in this book will guide educators in exploring the socio-cultural issues of cultural diversity and multiculturalism.

«This is a fantastic book that covers the many aspects of today’s multicultural education in a pluralistic society. Its content collectively opens the eye of prospective educators and students to gain so much knowledge in social and cultural domains that enhance teaching and learning to better prepare academic instructors for dealing with cultural diversity in the classroom.» (Jonas Vangay, Ed.D, PDSO/Director of the International Students Services, Professor in Cultural Anthropology and Hmong Language, Merced Community College, California)
«This new book is an excellent addition to our essential and expanding compendium of literature on diversity, and I believe all students of critical pedagogy will welcome Vang’s contribution and perspective. This ... adds to our understanding of the elements of teaching and learning within multicultural communities.» (Peter McLaren, Professor, Graduate School of Education, UCLA)
«Christopher Vang has put together a brilliantly lucid, splendidly readable, and intellectually synthesized multicultural book that addresses major issues in the teaching and learning circle involving students of diverse backgrounds. This book shows teachers the methods of teaching to reach out to all students and explains the psycho-social environment which both students and teachers are sharing each and every day. I am pleased to recommend this book to all credential students in preparing prospective educators to work with children in the diverse classroom.» (Tony Vang, Associate Professor of Teacher Education and Literacy and Early Education/Hmong BCLAD Coordinator, California State University, Fresno and an elected member of School Board of Education for Fresno Unified School District)
