- Summary:
-
This practicum was designed to retrain preschool personnel on the importance of cultural diversity and the teacher's role in developing and implementing a multicultural curriculum. Faculty meetings and workshops were organized to present a cultural awareness curriculum to preschool staff and discuss the teacher's role in executing the curriculum. Teachers participated in role-playing sessions on fostering respect for and understanding of diverse cultures, and they participated in developing and evaluating the culturally diverse curriculum. Monthly themes included: ancestors, food, clothing, games, shelter, holidays, transportation, and weather. Learning activities for each of these themes are presented, such as cooking with rice and corn, including chopsticks and woks in kitchen play centers, building igloos, and making hats and vests from different countries. Teachers who participated became aware of their attitudes toward multiculturalism and increased their knowledge of the importance of multicultural curriculum. Children involved in the cultural awareness program developed an understanding and respect for other people. Appendixes include a checklist of culturally diverse classroom materials, assessment instruments, and curriculum outlines. (Contains 29 references.) (JDD)
