		Considerations in Teaching Culturally Diverse Children
		17952 Reads Considerations in Teaching Culturally Diverse Children Recent projections (Griffith, Frase, & Ralph, 1989) have estimated that minorities in the United States will comprise one-third of the population; in some metropolitan areas African Americans and Hispanics will constitute a majority of the school-age population.

		14254 Reads Integrating Mexican-American History and Culture into the Social Studies Classroom Hispanics in the United States are now the fastest growing and one of the least educated ethnic groups in the country (Estrada, 1988; Broun 1992), and Mexican-Americans make up 63 percent of the entire Hispanic population (Estrada, 1988). Over the past 25 years, educators have initiated many programs and policies with the hope of improving educational attainment among Mexican-Americans and other Hispanics. The purpose of this Digest is to discuss one such effort--the integration of Mexican-American history and culture into the social studies curriculum. Read more... (8996 bytes more)
