MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION RESOURCES DIRECTORY

Oregon Department of Education

Introduction

This directory is for use by Oregon educators and community members in identifying and utilizing educational curricular, instructional, and organizational resources to assist students as they prepare for productive lives in our diverse society.

Directory Format

The directory is organized by resource topics with individual listings under each topic. The listings within topics are alphabetical, with annotations as appropriate. Resources focus on programs appropriate for grades K-12, rather than on the college or university level, and include areas such as minority student achievement, race, ethnicity, culture, gender, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, and educational equity.

Directory Usage

While primarily intended for use by educators, the directory is also appropriate for use by students and community groups. Specific sections may be duplicated and disseminated throughout a school, while the directory may be kept on file in the school office or media center. It is hoped that the directory will lead to many more resources with education that is multicultural.

DEDICATION AND CREDITS

This resource directory is dedicated to the students of Oregon in the hope that they will make positive connections with one another as they grow, achieve, and succeed in a world of diversity, respect, and opportunity.

This directory is the result of the collection and collaboration of work in 2003 - 2006 by Charlie Benitez and Carol Elkins for the Oregon Department of Education’s website, and is not considered a comprehensive or all-encompassing document of multicultural resources.
