Challenges in Addressing Multicultural Issues
INTRODUCTION
This week, you will continue to learn about challenges related to multicultural approaches to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. One way to do so is to investigate the scholarly literature on these topics. Another way is to talk with primary sources: those who have experienced the challenges. In this unit, you will conduct interviews with two people from diverse cultural backgrounds; these interviews will inform your learning about challenges faced firsthand by learners in educational settings.
[u06s1] Unit 6 Study 1 Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal
Use the Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal to help you keep track of your activities so you stay organized and meet all required deadlines. The tool also contains a section for you to record your reflections on your learning goals and experiences for the week. This space provides a private, informal area for you to record your thoughts on your strengths and challenges as they relate to inclusivity and diversity in learning environments. Your entries won’t be read, responded to, or graded by the instructor; however, you are strongly urged to make weekly journal entries, as you will need this content to complete the Unit 10 Course Reflection assignment.
As you prepare your weekly reflection entry, remember to connect at least one of Brookfield’s Four Lenses to your entry:
• Autobiographical experiences. • Eyes of students or clients. • Relevant theories. • Colleagues’ perceptions.
Complete the Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal to track your activities.

Thematic means that you first look over your selected articles, noting the concepts, general themes, theories, and so forth that are important for your project, and then group and summarize them in your paper. There is some helpful information for this week’s assignment in the final few paragraphs, and the information on organizing literature reviews will help you as you in future courses.
