The goals of the Center are to:
1) Provide a variety of professional development programs and opportunities for K-12 and university faculty that support development of education that is multicultural;
2) Establish working partnerships with school and university faculty and administrators aimed at building effective educational institutions that are multicultural;
3) Serve as a resource center in the dissemination of research materials, articles, etc.;

Networking Opportunities
The Center offers opportunities for educators to link with others who are working to develop multicultural education. The Center serves as a primary sponsor and collaborator for an annual statewide conference on multicultural education which attracts approximately 300 educators each year. The conference includes exhibits of book publishers and resource vendors, nationally recognized keynote speakers, a selection of workshops facilitated by K-12 and university educators, and artistic cultural performances.
Additionally, the Center was instrumental in establishing the Connecticut chapter of the National Association of Multicultural Education (NAME). NAME is the only professional organization in the country devoted solely to supporting educators in the achievement of education that is multicultural. The Connecticut chapter was established in 1997 and members meet several times during the academic year for professional development and networking.
Providing Field-based Assistance
Center representatives provide assistance to schools and districts in a variety of ways. These include assessments of needs; provision of technical assistance in developing grant proposals to support professional development of K-12 teachers; assistance in implementing long-term support mechanisms within schools, beyond institute training, for teachers as they develop multicultural education (e.g. peer consultation study teams); and formative and summative evaluations of progress developing education that is multicultural.

The Diversity Resource Group
As a means of providing professional development support and opportunities to teachers and administrators, the Diversity Resource Group was founded in the fall of 1997. The Diversity Resource Group includes faculty in the School of Education and the School of Arts and Sciences at Central Connecticut State University who have an expertise in particular aspects related to valuing diversity in education. All Diversity Resource Group faculty members have extensive experience in delivering training to K-12 educators.
The two main objectives of the Diversity Resource Group are to serve as 1) a resource to the educational community in developing education that is multicultural; and 2) a network of resources to each other in generating ideas, discussion and potential for multicultural education. The Diversity Resource Group offers a variety of half and full day, as well as multi-day workshops in multicultural education to school districts on a fee for service basis.
The basic "building block" for supporting teachers in developing education and curriculum that is multicultural is the:
Cornerstone Institute
The institute is a 3 day training program that emphasizes four steps (see Figure 1). These four steps include:
1) Awareness - during which a person's consciousness is raised about issues of prejudice and discrimination and participants identify and evaluate their own behaviors, biases, attitudes and beliefs. Various forms of prejudice are examined that include racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, and classism.
2) Knowledge - individuals learn more about other cultures and how cultural background and knowledge impact learning.
3) Skills - development of new skills in teaching from a multicultural perspective (e.g. integrating multicultural perspectives into existing unit and lesson plans, linking motivation and knowledge of culture, examining assessment approaches and curriculum materials for bias). Participants learn the skills important to being a culturally responsive educator, including attention to teaching strategies and communication styles.
4) Action- in which participants develop a personal action plan for implementing education that is multicultural and examine issues of organizational and school reform. Action plans for school improvement may include using peer coaching methodology, and evaluating results.
The institute is designed to support team building, identity and value awareness, skill building in curriculum development, and multicultural teaching strategies.

About the Diversity Sourcelist
The Diversity Sourcelist for K-12 Educators is offered as a reference guide in the development of education that is multicultural. School-based educators who are interested in building, or adding to a resource library for staff may find this Sourcelist useful. The Sourcelist is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide indications of materials that may be useful to K-12 educators.
The materials listed in the Sourcelist are materials either that the editor has found useful in working with K-12 educators, or that have been highly recommended. One person who has indirectly served as a reference in the development of this list is Pritchy Smith, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Florida in Jacksonville. Dr. Smith is a Founder of the National Association of Multicultural Education (NAME) and writes a regular column for NAME's quarterly magazine, Multicultural Education. For a number of years, Dr. Smith has shared outstanding reviews of current materials in his column. Several of the resources reviewed in his column appear in this Sourcelist
