Key ideas from the chapter:
- Establish a classroom community that values and celebrates diversity - Extend this to your whole school through a multicultural day.
- Seek out and exploit student common ground - Show how students are more similar than different through multicultural lessons. For example, show the similarities between holidays in different cultures.
- Provide frequent opportunities for meaningful collaborative work
- See conflicts as inevitable but solvable given critical reflection and persistence - Research cultural differences and make other teachers aware of these.
