This collection of essays, first published in 1984, on multicultural education seeks to introduce teachers, teacher educators, educational administrators, policymakers and others to several of the most significant dimensions of the field. But it also brings out the complexity of the issues and the dangers of over-simplification, the inadequacies of much of the available data, and the need for better long-term strategies.

This guidebook for curriculum planners reports on two specific aspects of the current wave of general education reform: the creation or revival of common or "core" courses within general-education curricula and the emergence of cultural complexity and multiplicity as organizing themes in these new, or newly revised, core programs. The book analyzes the newly emerging curricular renaissance and demonstrates why colleges and universities view these new core courses on cultural legacies as important priorities. In addition, it outlines the kinds of questions faculties must address in framing and sustaining core programs. Chapters 1 and 2 treat national trends that are discernible in the development of core curricula that address cultural pluralism, as well as issues and choices facing the participating institutions as they implement their core programs. Examples are used from these institutions, with analytical commentary, to illustrate the practice. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the processes of faculty development and core curriculum implementation, respectively. Each of these chapters ends with a series of recommendations for good practice. Chapter 5 summarizes the characteristics of strong core programs that engage cultural pluralism, An "Afterword" identifies challenges for the future. The book includes syllabi, excerpts from core proposals, curriculum profiles, and lists of questions to guide campus planners. (Contains 31 annotated bibliographic references.) (GLR)

This monograph reports on a study which examined how 92 colleges participating in a multiproject initiative, "American Commitments: Diversity, Democracy and Liberal Learning," are addressing issues of diversity in their general education curricula, policies, and practices. Chapter 1 focuses on emerging trends and promising practices, and includes discussions of: U.S. pluralism; culture and identity; prejudice, discrimination, and the pursuits of justice; education for social responsibility; and diversity in the core curriculum. Chapter 2 considers the process and politics of curricular change. Topics addressed include: effective diversity learning, defining learning goals, questions for faculty dialogue, the change process, and pedagogical change and faculty development. Chapter 3 covers the shaping of effective curricular models, including infusing diversity across the curriculum, requirements allowing students to choose among many courses, and the single course or course sequence requirement. A conclusion urges a four-part curricular engagement for effective citizenship: study of one's own culture, pluralism and pursuit of justice, justice seeking, and pluralism in majors and concentrations. An afterword by Carol Geary Schneider is titled: "Education for Cultural and Democratic Pluralism." Extensive appendices include exemplary syllabi, a listing of participating institutions, a list of resources, and a summary review of the literature. (Contains 11 references.) (DB)
