The Multicultural and Special Populations course gave me the opportunity to engage in dynamic and respectful discussions related to diversity, social justice, privilege, power, and difference with peers who were of different races and cultures.   The readings and discussions were excellent tools to put into perspective the problems of the past, and the ongoing issues that continue to ail us as a nation.  That said, I still believe that America can rise above these issues and take a leadership role in the world by giving a good example of multiculturalism and diversity, in the same way we have bled, fought, and died in togetherness for democracy.  I believe that it is possible for our nation to find a new paradigm that will encourage relegated groups to participate fully in American society, as well as having people of all cultures engaging in supportive cross-cultural encounters to promote ongoing positive and sustaining engagements among member of all races.  

In the below document I present 3 modules to help improve the future of multicultural relations in the education field, and promote positive relationships by eradicating stereotype and encouraging tolerance in the classrooms. In this document, I present a foundation, a theoretical framework, a plan of action, and an assessment of for my.   In addition, I also present the limitations, obstacles and sustainability of the plan.

The theoretical framework of this document expands on the work of Christine Sleeter and Carl Grant, in their 1987 Analysis of Multicultural education in the United States published in the Harvard Educational Review.
