Reforming Schools in a Democratic Pluralistic Society.
Banks, Cherry A. McGee; Banks, James A.
Educational Policy, v11 n2 p183-93 Jun 1997
Issues related to race, class, and gender diversity have been silenced in most school reform efforts. To meet future national and global needs, reforms must incorporate diversity issues, promote democratic ideas, and help students acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to construct civic, moral, and just communities. Policy recommendations for transforming school reform to reflect multicultural concerns are discussed. (47 references) (MLH)
