Defining and Designing Multicultur: One School System's Efforts (Suny Series, Social Context of Education)

by Pepi Leistyna

Defining and Designing Multicultur: One School System's Efforts (Suny Series, Social Context of Education) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Just outside a major urban center on the east coast of the United States an activist group struggled to create a system-wide multicultural education program. Through a seven-year qualitative study, Pepi Leistyna documents and interprets — via a critical pedagogical lens — this group's work with professional development, curriculum and instruction, faculty and staff, and community outreach. Through engaging examples, stories, and participant voices, Leistyna offers a comprehensive, accessible ethnography with implications for others who might attempt similar sorts of systemic change.

Book News Annotation:

Reporting on a three year research project examining the efforts of a volunteer group of teachers, guidance counselors, specialists, and administrators to direct a school district-wide effort to establish a proper foundation for multicultural education, Leistyna (applied linguistics, U. of Massachusetts Boston) evaluates the processes of the formation and practices of the group and assesses their success in achieving their goals.
