Issues in Multicultural Education The El Centro Elementary School District is made up of 8 elementary schools, one kinder-eighth, and two junior high schools (7-8). (Local Ed. Agency Plan 2012) This diverse school district is located in the city of El Centro, California in the Imperial County. Through my research I have discovered that at this time the El Centro Elementary School District does not have any type of citizenship character education as part of their curriculum. “Students are benefiting today from having the opportunity to practice moral character at school” (EDU-230, Lecture 6, 2013).

    Critical Analysis Essay On Multicultural Education

    The Critical Analysis Essay from my Introduction to Multicultural Education class at Leeward Community College provides evidence that I have completed the HTSB Standard 04: Content Knowledge. This essay called for me to analyze the article “Pidgin and Education: A position paper,” by Da Pidgin Coup. The assignment was split into three parts: interpretation, reflection, and practical application. For the interpretation section, I was to cite and interpret a quote from the article. I needed to ascertain the argument being made. For the second section, I needed to give my thoughts and stance on the information presented in the article. For the third section, I elaborated on how I would use the information and concepts presented in the article in my own teaching. The quote I chose to use was where the author pointed out that if children’s first language is Pidgin, they will better understand the content that is being taught in…

In your letter, you provided me your appreciation for the school Halloween party and how the children’s costumes challenged the stereotypes of people who’s against it.

    Growing Up In A Multicultural Family

    There are many areas of life that could be affected by someone who grows up in a multicultural family. The first could be in discipline in work ethic and in academics.. Some cultures are very disciplined and encourage and push their children to do well and excel academically, where as other cultures don't put as big of an emphasis on academics.

    Every Child Matters

    Citizenship is an excellent lesson that allows for discussions amongst peers on subjects that affect them all. It enables all pupils to express and share their own views and ideas both to the whole class and in small groups within a classroom that embraces a safe environment for learning. For example a discussion on bullying allows pupils to discuss behaviour deemed as bad and what behaviour is deemed a good. ‘Citizenship promotes safety especially through its emphasis on cohesion.’ (How does citizenship support the Every Child Matters outcomes, 2012), so for example if afterwards they can make an anti-bullying policy together, it brings the whole class as one and promotes the outcomes ‘Be Safe’ and ‘Be…
