| Synopsis: |
With 695 signed entries with cross-references and recommended readings, the Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education, Four-Volume Set, in both print and electronic formats, presents research and statistics, case studies and best practices, policies and programs at pre- and post-secondary levels. Diversity is a worldwide phenomenon, and while most of the entries in the Encyclopedia will focus on the United States, diversity issues and developments in nations around the world, including the United States, are intricately connected. Consequently, to illuminate the many aspects of diversity, this volume will contain entries from different nations in the world in order to illuminate the myriad aspects of diversity. From A-to-Z, this Encyclopedia will cover the full spectrum of diversity issues, including race, class, gender, religion, language, exceptionality and the global dimensions of diversity as they relate to education. There will also be an appendix consisting of a chronology of significant events related to diversity. This four-volume reference work is the definitive reference for diversity issues in education in the around the world.Key ThemesConcepts, Theories and Definitions of DiversityDemographics and the Changing American LandscapeRacial and Ethnic DiversityGender and Sexual OrientationSocioeconomic StatusLanguage, Culture and Linguistic DiversityExceptionalityReligion in Society and SchoolsImmigration, Migration and National IdentityStandardized Testing and Culturally Responsive AssessmentAlternative Educational ModelsCurriculum Issues and Pedagogies of DiversityFaculty, Teacher and Administrator TrainingDiversity in Primary and Secondary EducationDiversity in Post-Secondary EducationAffirmative ActionMerit-Based Admission, Equity and OpportunityLaw, Politics and Public PolicySchool, Family and Community Issues |
