• Students should experience a sense of belonging
coupled with pride in their heritage. Learning materials should raise levels of
awareness about ethnocentrism, bias, stereotypes, discrimination, and racism,
and teach or provide examples of inclusive, pro-social behaviors.
• Students from all cultural and ethnic backgrounds
need to see themselves reflected in educational materials. The sharing of
cultural heritages, languages, traditions, values, and lifestyles enriches the
education of all students.
• To these ends, resource collections should
include materials that
- increase awareness of ethnic and cultural
diversity
- create sensitivity to and respect for differences
and similarities within and among groups
- affirm and enhance self-esteem through pride in
heritage
- promote cross-cultural understanding,
citizenship, and racial harmony
- reflect and validate students’ cultural
experiences.
