In recent years the teaching profession has been attacked for what the Rampton Report called its 'unintentional racism'. At the same time, attempts by teachers to develop curricula that reflect the cultural diversity and confront the racial inequality of contemporary society have had a highly critical reception. This book will help all teachers who are trying honestly and intelligently to respond to the conflicting demands made upon them. Throughout, Jon Nixon emphasizes the relevance of multicultural education to all pupils. Teachers in every school, he argues, need to think through the practicalities of educating their pupils for a multicultural society. These encompass curricular, pastoral and community concerns. Each chapter offers a programme of issues for action and reflection by practising teachers. Particular attention is paid to the needs of trainee teachers and the development of policy for multicultural education.
