Spectrum of Multicultural Instructional Approaches Contributions Approach
Reflects the surface level of culture—such as celebrating holidays—but does not provide an in-depth student of more profound cultural elements.
Additive ApproachIncorporates multiple perspectives when investigating a topic—like looking at a historical event from a different cultural viewpoint—but the addition is incidental to instruction and the curriculum remains largely unchanged.
Transformative ApproachIn this approach examining cultural and ethic differences drives instruction—understanding the concepts, events , issues and perspectives is key to learning the content being presented.
Decision-making/Social Action ApproachIs designed to engage students in a project or activity that encourages students to learn about multicultural issues, evaluate it from various cultural points of views and take action on those conclusions in the interest of social justice.

How Do You Think Your Students Feel?
If this exercise made you feel confused, isolated or ignorant…
You are talking but are your students listening?
Can they even understand what you are saying?
The world is changing, Are you ready?
Linguistic Differences: Past, Present and Future
The English Language Learner (ELL) student population continues to grow more rapidly than the student population as a whole. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics the general population has grown 9% from 1993 to 2003, while the ELL population has grown 65% in that same time. The ELL student population now comprises 10% of all students. By 2030, projections estimate that ELL students will make up 40% of all students in elementary and secondary schools. That means in a class of 30 students 12 students may have no idea what you are saying.

Lesson Planning With Diversity in Mind: Using The SIOP Model
Bringing It All Together
For Your Independent Practice:Choose Your Own Cultural AdventureMake a memory! Your independent practice this week is to plan your own cultural adventure. In a half page paper, write a detailed plan of how you would participate in an activity that would help you to learn more about a new culture. Look at some examples:
•Attend a cooking class to learn about another culture’s cuisine•Learn to play a game from another country•Go to a dance class and learn about the dance traditions and music of the country that dance originated from•Attend a service at a place of worship of a religion you are unfamiliar with and learn about their traditions•Plan an outing to a foreign food restaurant, look up a menu and learn about the foods and plan what you will order in advance
Extra credit will be given for students who choose to carry out their plan and share their experiences with the rest of the class.
