Curriculum in Action: Multiculturalism and the Human-Animal Connection introduces future and current K-12 educators to engaging animal themes and fosters the consideration and development of animal-focused lessons. The text illuminates the multifaceted roles animals have played in society, their cultural influences within diverse communities, and how teachers can introduce animal themes in the classroom in an empathetic, ethical, and considerate way. Each chapter is organized according to world locale, revealing cultural perceptions regarding animals on each continent, presenting readers with an overview of current research, and providing lessons and activities with emphasis on the STEAM approach to learning and focus on Next Generation Science Standards. Readers learn about the relationships people have had with animals over time and how those relationships have transformed through environmental changes. The text also examines environment-dependent interactions that humans have with companion animals, as well as how these special interactions can improve our connections with others. Curriculum in Action is an ideal resource for courses and programs with focus on K-12 education. It is also an excellent resource for teachers who are interested in incorporating animal themes into their curriculum.
