Practicing What We Preach: Reclaiming the Promise of Multicultural Transition Programming
Achola, Edwin Obilo
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v42 n3 p188-193 Aug 2019
Translating multicultural research and theory into practices that improve transition outcomes for all children especially, youth who come from predominantly culturally and ethnically diverse (CED) communities, remains a substantial challenge for career transition specialists (CTSs) today. The purpose of this article was to consider the state of transition programming for CED youth with disabilities, paying particular attention to the clinical applications of Banks's dimensions of multicultural pedagogy in addressing inequities in transition programming. In light of this discussion, a set of five research- and practice-based tips for CTSs, special education teachers, and other members of individualized transition teams are shared.
