Faculty Toolkit: Multicultural Teaching

This book is for anyone who is challenged or troubled by the substantial disparities in college participation, persistence, and completion among racial and ethnic groups in the United States.

This publication is drawn from the work of the James Irvine Foundation Campus
Diversity Initiative (CDI), established to assist twenty-eight independent colleges and universities in California with
strategically improving campus diversity.

Presumed Incompetent is a pathbreaking account of the intersecting roles of race, gender, and class in the working lives of women faculty of color.

The focus of this book is faculty and students of color at postsecondary institutions and the racial challenges they encounter in college classrooms.

This comprehensive guide addresses the continuing gaps in our knowledge about the role of culture in learning; and offers an empirically-based framework and model, together with practical strategies, to assist faculty in transforming college teaching for all their students through an understanding of and teaching to their strengths.

This book presents thoughtful reflections and in-depth, critical analyses of the new challenges and opportunities instructors face in teaching race during what has been called the "post-racial era".
