Multicultural education consists of two interrelated dimensions, a curricular dimension and an equity dimension. In this chapter, we are more concerned with the curriculum. A multicultural social studies curriculum does not limit itself to presenting information about a wide range of people, rather it:

a. Focuses on teaching children about the heroes from every cultural group
b. Provides the perspectives of people who frequently have been relegated to the margins in traditional social studies programs
c. Provides opportunities for children to pretend that they live in a foreign nation
d. Integrates the language arts, the visual arts, and the performing arts
