According to Nieto and Bode (2008),
“Becoming a multicultural teacher …means first becoming a multicultural
person” (p. 392). Throughout this course, we will discover ways to
create multicultural learning environments that are responsive to the
needs of children and their families. The first step is to examine our
own beliefs about multicultural education. For this assignment, you
will:

• Describe your current beliefs
  about multicultural education (i.e., how you define it). Complete this
  step before reading the article and the other source you choose.

• Create your own multicultural education philosophy statement after reading the Multicultural education article and at least one other scholarly source of your choice.
• Discuss two to three specific ways to incorporate your philosophy into a multicultural classroom.
• Discuss
  two to three obstacles you might encounter when creating a
  multicultural learning environment and include ways to address these
  challenges.

For this assignment, you will create a multimedia presentation using NewHive,
or PowerPoint. If you choose to use NewHive, start by creating a free
account. Your multimedia presentation should thoroughly address each of
the four points above and your information should be presented in a
clear, creative, and visually appealing way. Also, be sure to include
references that are formatted according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center.
