Communicating for Diversity: Using Teacher Discussion Groups to Transform Multicultural Education
De La Mare, Danielle M.
Social Studies, v105 n3 p138-144 2014
The author argues that in order to create space for authentic multicultural engagement in the face of Eurocentric norms, teachers should form discussion groups that follow five basic guidelines: engage, don't enrage; be comfortable with negative emotion; watch for and change unproductive language; talk about everything; and engage in classroom dialogue.
