TEACHING STRATEGY FOR MULTICULTURAL STUDENTS
Multicultural education encompasses more that just cultural differences. It involves practices, policies, strategies, and pedagogical approaches that adhere to the differences and interrelationship of students in the classroom. It also includes an examination of various like students, teachers, parenting styles, and other experiences that would shape each student.
What the students learn in the classroom in terms of interactions with other students with varied backgrounds translate to how efficient they will be in communicating with different kinds of people.
