Description
Sonia Nieto (2004) defines multicultural education as "a process of ... basic education for all students ... [that] challenges and rejects racism and other forms of discrimination in schools and society and accepts and affirms the pluralism ... that students, their communities, and teachers represent" (p. 346). This definition necessitates inclusion and authenticity (Neito, 2004. p. 353) emphasizing that all people, especially teachers, need to learn about and respect themselves, one another, and all other people in honor of their many diverse cultural characteristics (Banks, 2001; Zeichner, 1993).
