Diversity in Education and Curriculum Concepts

Are you interested in a future in teaching, education administration, or becoming a social worker, or school psychologist, then there is a book, which I’d like to recommend that your read, and then I’d like to give you a more than fair assessment of this work.

“Multicultural Education in a Pluralistic Society,” by Donna M. Gollnick and Philip C. Chinn, Pearson Merrill a Prentice Hall Company, Upper Saddle River, NJ, (2006), pp. 404, ISBN: 0-13-119719-3.

This book was quite interesting to me, and its first publishing was in 1983 and it has been upgraded and republished every few years since. I felt as if the book was very hard to use because it has the Preface prior to the table of contents, which makes navigating very tough. The preface is quite good and explains how the book is formatted.

Once into the book it is very easy to follow along, even the most blithering idiot could use this book and understand it, perhaps, that is their target reader; at least this is the impression I got, and speaking of impression, I believe this book is trying to brainwash the “education student” who has an impressionable mind, this is my opinion based on reading it.

Homeschool Groups – You Don’t Have to Go it Alone

As a parent who has decided to home school your children, there are times you might wonder whether you made the right decision and if you are being overwhelmed by the demands of teaching your children at home. After all, public and private schools have a cadre of staff, nurses, consultants, lawyers, and others to help carry out the many functions of an educational enterprise. Who will assist you? Where will you turn for help? Homeschool groups provide needed support services that free you to do what you enjoy the most – teaching. You don’t have to go it alone.

Better known as homeschooling associations, these not-for-profit groups have come into vogue in recent years as the number of children being taught at home has more than doubled since 2002. Such associations provide a host of services to parents. Chief among them is advocacy. They represent you before state legislatures and departments of education to insure that your interests are protected and that laws and regulations governing the home school are fair, clear, needed, and not counter productive to homeschooling. They provide testimony before State boards and commissions and legislative committees so that your interests and concerns are given a voice which is heard.
