What is multicultural education?

Multicultural education critiques the need for equity and inclusion in public education. It is grounded in ideals of social justice, equitable educational access, and opportunity for ALL students to reach their full potential as learners. Multicultural education acknowledges that schools are essential to laying the foundation for equality and access (Gorski and Covert, 2000). WSFC Schools is committed to the ideals and philosophies of multicultural education through the school district's value for human diversity.
