Open publisher page 441 citations

Abstract

The contributions approach I have identified four approaches to the integration of ethnic and multicultural content into the curriculum that have evolved since the 1960s (see Figure 13.1). The contributions approach to integration (level 1) is one of the most frequently used and is often used extensively during the first phase of an ethnic revival movement. It is also frequently used when a school or district first attempts to integrate ethnic and multicultural content into the mainstream curriculum.
