Analyze three to five (3-5) factors that determine that color blindness is not the solution to racism in the classroom.
Provide specific instructional strategies geared to addressing race in a more constructive fashion in the grade level in which you teach or plan on teaching.
Design a scholastic program for integrating multiculturalism into the grade level in which you teach or plan on teaching.
Propose specific features of the program and how it would be included when teaching different subject matter such as math, history, or literature.
