Multicultural Education - The State of the Art

Multicultural Education - The State of the Art

The Multicultural Education Project (1992-1996), led by Keith A. McLeod addressed the concept of multicultural education as a fundamental aspect of all classrooms and schools. Five reports look at the state of multicultural education in Canada, where we are and what we have achieved.

Report1: "The National Study" consists of ten articles that look at two different but complimentary foci: examining where we are and what we have achieved, and the presentation of some of the research at the leading edge in the field. Available in English only.

Report 2: "Studies of Canadian Heritage"a ddresses pluralism - ethnic, racial, religious and linguistic pluralism in Canada. As CASLT is an organization that particularly focuses on linguistic, pluralism, so these studies primarily reflect language diversity in Canada. Available in English only.

Report 4: "The Challenges and the Future" demonstrates that although there has been twenty-five years of progress, it is equally clear that there is a need to re-affirm and position multiculturalism within our socio-cultural and political concepts and to re-define and re-unify the movement in education. "The Challenges and the Future" looks at what kind of role languages should play in a multicultural education context. Available in English only.

Report 5: Multicultural Education: A Place To Start - A Guideline for Classrooms, Schools and Communities: Diversity in Canada - As schools continually accept new students and new teachers, there are always schools and teachers taking on challenges and educational developments. Likewise, communities are continually changing. "A Place to Start" is a brilliant tool for all future teachers and a great resource for faculties and students. It is a challenge to all to educate for the diversity of Canada and for living globally.
