Multicultural education is a construct that has been very useful
for many years in harboring sensitivities teachers need in
addressing diverse students. Now the discipline needs refreshing.
In the global society, the idea of multicultural education, a
decidedly Western formation, needs to expand its conceptual
boundaries. Salient issues in multicultural education such as
individual identities, social justice, and equity are bedrock
concerns of multicultural educators. These concepts are considered
necessary but not sufficient in shaping an evolving model of
multicultural education. The complexity of humans and modern and
emerging societies requires a broadened scope of the understanding
of contemporary multicultural theory and practice. Evolving
Multicultural Education for Global Classrooms addresses
multicultural education from a comprehensive viewpoint that
acknowledges the historical benefit of multicultural education and
recognizes a need to inform the discipline with a broader
viewpoint. As most knowledge on multicultural education comes from
a Western perspective and the scholarship on the topic is
weakening, the chapters in this book present new practices and
classroom applications that are internationally transferable.
Topics covered include teacher education, social justice,
educational equity and inclusion, online education, and cultural
sensitivities. This book is ideally intended for teachers,
educational theorists, sociologists of education, inservice and
preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in a fresh global perspective on multicultural education.

Music and arts education have a long-standing orientation of
seeking a practice where everyone interacts and communicates in,
and through artistic activities. However, an overspecialized and
professionalized stance in arts education diminishes the spirit of
playing music together, and leaves little room for creativity
during teaching and learning activities. In order to gain a richer
and deeper knowledge of music and the arts, interaction and the
meaning of creative and humanely kyosei interactions between and
among individuals, groups, and institutions must be emphasized.
Cases on Kyosei Practice in Music Education is an essential
reference source that discusses the meaning and significance of
music making as a human and social practice, as well as reflecting
creative inquiry into practical aspects of music and arts teaching.
Featuring research on topics such as multicultural music, community
music, and sociological perspectives, this book is ideally designed
for P-12 educators, pre-service and in-service teachers,
administrators, principles, music instructors, administrators,
caregivers, and researchers.
