Book synopsis

To help both new and seasoned teachers to become more effective with their students from diverse backgrounds, "Becoming Multicultural Educators" edited by Geneva Gay, offers fourteen compelling stories from different regions, cultures, ethnic groups, and stages of professional and personal growth in developing multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills. One contributing author declares community participation and social activism are the keys to his professional growth. For another, multicultural understanding comes when she learns to unveil the masks of insidious negative stereotypes. Through these stories, we share their struggles as these educators come to understand diversity among ethnic groups and cultures, resolve conflicts between curricular and multicultural goals, and find authentic models and mentors for their students. But most important, we learn how this laudatory group of educators has come to realize that they need to know themselves if they are to truly know their students. Well-grounded in education theory, "Becoming Multicultural Educators" is both personal and inspiring. This is the book that will help teachers, and those who prepare them, blossom as educators and human beings.
