Multicultural, Global and Civic Perspectives in the Classroom

I recently reviewed an article for my Social Studies Methods class about integrating multicultural, global and civic ideals in the classroom.  It was an interesting article that I feel pertains to all educators.  Their is a growing demand for students who have these qualities. Without this perspective, students will lack the ability to understand others' positions in life and be able to relate to these people.  The world will not be a socially just place without this global perspective.  Even with this demand, it is not present in the majority of curriculum in our schools.  In order to be excellent leaders and citizens it is necessary for them to be possess multiple perspectives.  It is our duty as educators to help guide the students.  I imagine that this might be easier said then done.  In a classroom a teacher could be presented with multiple needs of the students and it might be challenging to meet everyone's needs.  Though I feel it is crucial that I try my hardest to meet that goal.  I will definitely remember this article as I move forward in my career.  You can access my entire using this link.
