In discussing cultural awareness, this report points out the needs for teacher education in this area. The report questions the utility of the melting-pot image for America; it expresses the belief that ethnic, racial, and cultural differences do exist, and that educators ought to recognize, value, and reward these differences. The multi-ethnic or pluralistic model is proposed as a more relevant educational model for the 1970's. Work in training teachers in this area is described. (Author/JW)
