Multicultural Education of Children and Adolescents explores the foundations of diversity through cultural portraits of young people from a variety of backgrounds, and provides practical strategies for shaping and implementing a multicultural curriculum.

Content and features new to the seventh edition include the following:

- Every chapter opens with a real-life story that introduces the subject matter by showing the ideas in action

- Points to Ponder boxes urge readers to reflect more deeply on information they have just read

- Case Studies with accompanying Questions for Discussion in all chapters enable nuanced consideration of the crucial differences between culturally specific learning styles

- Chapter 13 now includes a section on teaching and understanding LGBTQIA+ youth, with updated teacher resources to support learning

- The book addresses newly emerging issues in multicultural education throughout, including discussions around Critical Race Theory, culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP), the impact of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, the impact of xenophobia and hate towards Asian communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as migration and refugee issues

Through a series of applied chapters, teacher candidates will learn to use the most effective instructional practices with diverse learners, and to work successfully with families, school personnel, and administrators to implement a multicultural program.
