This book attempts an integrated treatment of the various forms of human diversity found in schools: gender, racial, ethnic, class, language and handicap. It stresses the culture-learning (socialization) process: how individuals become functioning group members and how their cultural conditioning produces barriers to understanding and interacting with those who are "different" from themselves. The book is aimed at courses dealing with human diversity in education and "broadened" multicultural language, and social class differences. It may also appeal to many foundations instructors with an interest in diversity and inequality.

"People across the planet seem to be in constant fl ux and challenge--some seek and embrace innovation and change at an ever-accelerating pace, while others struggle through a variety of political and social resistance to retain older and more traditional ways of doing things. In the few years since the previous edition of this book we have witnessed, the Middle East alone has witnessed the emergence of the Arab Spring that challenged long-standing dictatorships by a citizenry bent on establishing democracy; the de-escalation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; a major civil war emerging in Syria; the death of Osama bin Laden; and the continuation of terrorist threats aimed at Western interests"--

Human Diversity in Education: An Integrative Approach is a research-based, comprehensive text designed to provide an introduction to multicultural education and diversity in society. The text prepares future teachers for the wide diversity of students that they are certain to meet in their classrooms, schools, and communities. It provides an updated and broad treatment of the various forms of human diversity found in today’s schools including nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, class, language, sexual orientation, and ability levels. The text maintains a unique approach – a research-based cross-cultural psychological emphasis on how people learn about culture. The text is based on the assumption that it is at the level of the individual teacher where the change that must occur with regard to diversity in schools begins. It assumes that teachers must learn to incorporate issues of diversity in all of their teaching, including, but not limited to their interactions with children, parents, other teachers and the community. In the fourth edition new Case Studies are used to introduce major concepts at the start of chapters and Critical Incidents refer back to the Case Studies throughout the chapter. New coverage includes an emphasis on globalization and a new chapter on intercultural development. Important topics covered include: intercultural development of individuals, globalization and international education, religion in society and schools, gender and sexuality, exceptionality, and diversity with respect to early childhood.

Human Diversity in Education is designed to prepare teachers for the wide diversity of students that they are certain to encounter in their classrooms, schools, and communities.

Human Diversity in Education: An Intercultural Approach

This eighth edition of Human Diversity in Education: An Intercultural Approach continues to focus on the preparation of teachers and other human-service providers who not only can teach and interact more effectively with the wide diversity of students they are certain to encounter, but are also able to transmit this knowledge and skill to the individuals in their charge. The book continues to provide a broad treatment of the various forms of diversity common in today's schools, including nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, social class, language acquisition and use, sexual orientation, health concerns, and disability. We also maintain its research-based approach, with an increased cross-cultural and intercultural emphasis. We continue to stress that it is both at the level of the individual teacher as well as the organizational structure of the school where significant change must occur with regard to how diversity is understood and accommodated.

Cross-cultural orientation programmes are designed to prepare people who are about to interact extensively with others from very different cultural backgrounds. Programme goals include development of better intercultural relations, smoother adjustment to problems and minimization of stress. In this volume a set of training materials has been developed that can form the basis of various cross-cultural orientation programmes. The materials are based on the assumption that there are personal experiences shared by people who live and work in cultures other than their own. These experiences include anxiety, disconfirmed expectancies, ingroup-outgroup distinctions, confrontation with one′s own prejudices and attributions about others′ behaviour.
