In February 1983, a symposium was held to ensure that multicultural and equity education issues are not left unattended in Washington State's public schools as new educational challenges present themselves. Participants were 80 individuals representing a cross section of geographic areas, ethnic groups, and key professions from 21 different school districts and 21 different institutions. This report contains papers on the eight themes addressed by these participants: (1) "Discipline: Policies, Practices and Minority Students"; (2) "Computers, Minority Students and a Technology Gap Acceleration"; (3) "The Street Life Alternative" (which deals with the dropout phenomenon); (4) "Multicultural/Global Education in the Schools"; (5) "Multicultural/Basic Education"; (6) "Effective Schools within a Pluralistic Society"; (7) "Teacher Readiness in a Complex Multicultural Education Setting"; and (8) "Students Who Speak a Language Other than English, Bilingualism and a Need for State Direction." Each paper examines its theme by asking five related questions: (1) What hard data exist to substantiate the issue? (2) What factors create or contribute to the issue? (3) What are the probable consequences if the issue is left unattended? (4) What strategies would be appropriate to respond to the issue? (5) What resources are currently available for educators to use in responding to the issue? (GC)
