When I first saw the Teacher Advocacy assignment I was terrified, but step by step it was manageable and I really enjoyed it and learned a great deal about my topic. These quotes from our textbook are ones that I included in my paper and find particularly applicable to moving forward as  a teacher.
“By fostering positive intergroup and interracial attitudes and contacts, multicultural education may help all students function in a culturally pluralistic society.” 
“Cultural pluralism, particularly in education, is more important than ever before as the United States becomes transformed into what observers call the first ‘universal nation.’” – p. 359 - 360

This approach focuses less on curriculum-based content, and allows children to learn at their own pace with the support of their teacher.
