Focusing on what multicultural education actually looks like in the classroom, this Fifth Edition of Making Choices for Multicultural Education encourages you to examine the latest theoretical perspectives on multicultural education, as well as your own personal beliefs about classroom diversity.

• Addresses multicultural issues related to the current accountability movement.
• Emphasizes the connections between student achievement and the teaching processes.
• Discusses assessment in relation to high-stakes testing.
