...Keisha Johnson April 14, 2010 EDU 230 Jeffery Sheritti Multicultural Fieldtrip: Children’s Museum of Phoenix Visiting museums has always been an interesting experience for me since I was a child. When I would go on fieldtrips with the schools that I attended, I preferred going to museums rather than amusement parks because I enjoyed learning about the history of people and was extremely ecstatic with seeing art. When I was given this assignment I was excited, not only because I was going to go to a museum here in Phoenix, but also because I choose a museum that my five year old daughter Erica would enjoy as well. The Children’s Museum of Phoenix was by far the most interesting museum I’ve been to and the environment was also something I’ll never forget. As we arrived to the museum I was taken aback by the look of the building until I realized that it was actually a school at one point. I did some research before going and most of the reviews I saw stated that the museum was every child’s dream museum, however this resulted in it being overly crowded at times, luckily we went on a day where this wasn’t an issue for us at all. There were quite a few families there, that ranged in many different cultures and backgrounds and it made the experience more pleasant. Since the museum didn’t focus on true history and art, it made it easy for anyone from any background feel welcomed to come through the doors. The entire building, all three floors were dedicated to children playing...

...Skype, Facebook, etc. Some kids are extremely diverse but their education in diversity is not a result of their schooling, it is a result of their travels, exposure and friendships to people of other countries and regions. In our school district we do have foreign exchange students who offer some insight into the lives of other cultures, genders, etc. We also have “distant learning” classes available at our school for students who want to take them. I feel that our local communities are very close-minded in terms of other cultures and the ways in which diversity can benefit us. Due to my own lack of cultural education I am going to write about the history of and importance of multicultural education in the school systems, citizen education programs and cultural enrichment activities.. Multicultural education has slowly evolved since its origins in the 1950’s civil rights movement to become part of the cultural mainstream. The desire to recognize the diversity of cultures rather than privileging one dominant one is the motivation of multiculturalism. A rapidly changing demographic profile in the United States is beginning to be reflected in the student population of the nation’s schools. The increase in racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity in American schools is reflected in many classrooms. These classrooms are also receiving increased numbers of children with...
