Diversity is at the heart of today's education debates. Often,
school policies and programs designed to encourage and embrace
diversity are met with public ire and a deep misunderstanding of
how diversity serves learning. This work explains how diversity is
an essential element in classroom settings. As children from around
the world continue to pour into U.S. classrooms, an understanding
of cultural and linguistic diversity in its broadest sense moves to
the foreground. In a post 9/11 world, the benefits of understanding
diversity take on urgent meaning. The introductory chapter,
"Participating in Democracy Means Participating in Schools," sets
the tone for the discussion to follow. As the geographic
backgrounds of immigrants becomes increasingly diverse, religion
must be added to previous discussions of race, ethnicity, and
language. Thus, the need for the public to understand how shifts in
population affect schools, makes this work a vital resource for
anyone concerned with education today.
