The first part of your paper will include your Multicultural Education Plan of Action (answer the questions below).
The second part of your paper will include your personal considerations of the possibilities and challenges of multicultural education.
Reflect on your burning questions, your course work, the class discussions and activities and the readings particularly from Affirming Diversity. Write a letter to yourself that reflects your hopes and dreams for your future as a multicultural person/educational leader. Use your plan of action to assist you in writing your personal (narrative) letter. (Keep a copy of this letter and Plan of Action.
