Multicultural Curriculum Transformation in Literacy and Language Arts cover

This book focuses on multicultural curriculum transformation in literacy and language arts subject areas. The discussion of each area outlines critical considerations for multicultural curriculum transformation for the area by grade level and then by eight organizing tools, including content standards, relationships with and among students and their families, and evaluation of student learning and teaching effectiveness. The volume is designed to speak with PK-12 teachers as colleagues in the multicultural curriculum transformation work. Readers are exposed to “things to think about,” but also given curricular examples to work with or from in going about the actual, concrete work of curriculum change. This work supports PK-12 teachers to independently multiculturally adapt existing curriculum, to create new multicultural curriculum differentiated by content areas and grade levels, and by providing ample examples of what such multicultural transformed literacy and language arts curricula looks like in practice.

This collection presents goals to engage, interest, and equip teachers and learners with concrete subject and grade-level examples, ideally to transform multicultural curriculum in literacy and language arts education for Pre-K–12 and teacher training. The ideas presented here are especially critical for achievement among historically marginalized minority students…. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.
