Part II focuses on various cultural groups to help preservice teachers better understand the backgrounds of diverse learners and the strategies for working with them. Finally, Part III offers teacher candidates a series of chapters that help them apply concepts of the book to their practice: planning a multicultural curriculum, using the most effective instructional practices, working successfully with families of diverse students, and collaborating with school personnel and administrators to implement a multicultural program.
