The second section provides practical suggestions and models for curriculum development and classroom strategies, as well as guidelines for the development of effective teacher education programs to prepare teachers to work in multiracial, multicultural, multilingual classrooms.

The final section is an annotated resource list of materials for teacher reference and classroom use.
