Does "Charting a Course" Include a Multiethnic Perspective?
Garcia, Jesus
Social Education, v54 n7 p444-46 Nov-Dec 1990
Finds that the National Commission on Social Studies in the Schools' report, "Charting a Course: Social Studies for the 21st Century," emphasis on multiethnic perspectives is sparse and sporadic. Observes that its chronological approach to history and textbook emphasis discourages understanding of ethnicity. Criticizes teacher education programs for lack of training in multicultural education. (CH)
