  2. Multicultural Teaching • As teachers, how do we eliminate stereotype threat? • What is multiculturalism? What is Sonia Nieto’s definition? • What is the difference between deep and shallow multiculturalism?

  3. Take several post-it notes. Please read “Differing Sexualities in Singular Classrooms,” pages 1-4 only. Write down quotes that speak to you – one per post-it.

  4. How do we eliminate stereotype threat and help all students succeed? • Become cultural competent (expose yourself to different cultures, become aware of your own assumptions and prejudices). • Create a “safe zone.” • Get to know your students as people. • Build trust.

  5. Multiculturalism • A philosophy that recognizes ethnic diversity within a society and that encourages others to be enlightened by worthwhile contributions to society by those of diverse ethnic backgrounds (Answers.com) • The acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, for practical reasons and/or for the sake of diversity (Wikipedia on 1/27/2010) • The policy or practice of giving equal attention or representation to the cultural needs and contributions of all the groups in a society: special emphasis may be given to minority groups underrepresented in the past, as through bilingual education (YourDictionary.com)
