It demonstrates how the social construction of identities has shaped individuals' perceptions, judgments, and understanding of the world. Noel integrates the right mix of personal experiences of multicultural educators, literature from that field, and information from the psychological, philosophical, and sociological foundations of education to help educators plan for diversity in their teaching.
 Alongside up-to-date statistics and examples are timely discussions of immigration, community involvement, the achievement gap, sex and gender, hate crimes, and bullying issues that touch multicultural educators on a daily basis. Advantageous pedagogical tools group and individual activities, guided discussion questions, case studies, and end-of-chapter reflective writings help readers gain a clear vision of how to be an effective teacher in today's diverse communities.

This highly regarded text does not take the usual approach of "telling about" multicultural education. Instead, it inspires students to examine and clarify their own personal beliefs and attitudes about multicultural issues in order to develop effective teaching strategies for multicultural classrooms. Valuable pedagogical tools include activities with related small group discussion questions, end-of-chapter lists of topics for reflective writing, and case studies illustrating real-world experiences.

Thoroughly updated, Noel's concise, practical text offers essential information on identity development as it applies to multicultural education. Discussions are not heavily laden with theory, but when that coverage is warranted, Noel uses clear, jargon-free language and examples of how theory can be applied in the real world. The concepts of identity and culture are introduced through the author's own identity story--an apt way to set the stage for self-exploration, learning new insights, and discovering how teachers can make a positive difference in school and community settings. A section on community "funds of knowledge" explores the theory and practice of connecting with a school's neighborhood community. Other distinctive features include: an extended section on tracking and an entirely new section and reflective writing on the concept of "subtractive schooling," current statistics and identity issues related to refugee and immigrant status, a discussion of Gardner's eighth intelligence (the naturalist intelligence), and new identity stories illustrating the various stages of ethnic identity. The book's advantageous pedagogical tools--group and individual activities, guided discussion questions throughout the chapters, end-of-the-chapter reflective writings, and case studies--help readers to gain a clear vision of how to be an effective teacher in today's diverse communities.
