Exploring the Theories of Multicultural Education
Sharisse Turner
Practitioner to Practitioner, v13 n1 p13-14 2024
Multicultural education is a reform movement grounded in the belief that all students should have equal opportunities to learn (Banks & Banks, 2015). Therefore, the diversity brought to educational institutions should be considered as assets not deficits. One way to accomplish cultural parity is to incorporate equity pedagogy, which occurs when teaching strategies are modified in a manner "that will facilitate the academic achievement of students from diverse racial, cultural, gender, and social groups" (Banks & Banks, 2014, p. 17). The multicultural principles of funds of knowledge, community cultural wealth, and problem-posing education are essential if the true intent of education is for all students to benefit. The voices of the students and the cultural experiences they bring from their diverse communities should be included in the tapestry of the learning environment.
