A multicultural classroom is a celebration of the ethnic and racial groups in your classroom, particularly those that have been historically under represented.

How do you do that in a meaningful way, whether you have a variety of cultures in your classroom or you teach in a predominately white school?

My guest today is Roberto Germán, director of middle school and creator of the educational consulting group ‘The Multicultural Classroom.’

EPISODE NOTES

In today’s episode we explore:

  • the differences between multiculturalism, a multicultural classroom, and social justice
  • Roberto’s journey from an extremely poor and under-performing school in Lawrence, MA to one of the wealthiest private boarding schools in the nation and how that experience inspired the work he does now

  • what a multicultural classroom experiences looks like for the white teacher in a predominately white school
