User:Seattlesun/Teaching Multiracial Students

Teachers and mentors are in an opportune position to help multiracial students navigate their identities. Multiracial students are subject to societal racism and stereotypes that are oftentimes harbored even by their own parents and teachers, and they face a high risk of developing an unhealthy self-concept because they receive mixed signals and pressures from their families, friends, and schools about which racial, ethnic, and cultural groups they should identify with. But if they are socialized as multiracial, they often develop not only a healthy self-concept, but a “more well-rounded sense of the world....greater intergroup tolerance, language facility, [and] appreciation of minority group cultures.... In addition, they often are able to identify multiple aspects of a situation where other people see only one, and to see both sides of a conflict,” (Schwartz, 1998). Suggestions for instruction to promote the development of self-concept in multiracial students, as reported by Schwartz (1998), include: 1.	Develop and share family trees. •	Teachers can help adopted students research aspects of their heritage not shared by their current family, if student desires. •	Parents or other relatives can be invited to talk to the class or participate in a group activity.

2.	Provide toys for younger children which include dolls with multiracial characteristics.

3.	Include multiracial persons as role models when selecting assembly speakers and other resource persons.

4.	Seek out and use the increasing number of children's books available that depict multiracialism in the classroom. •	Acquire them for the school library. •	Request that the local library purchase them for family use.

5.	Present information on, and show pictures of, people of many racial and ethnic groups, including those of mixed heritage.

6.	Demonstrate how people in the U.S. have successfully mixed languages, cultures, and religions throughout its history, and how the country has always been a home to multiethnic people (for example, early settlers whose parents comprised different European heritages).

7.	Identify multiracial heroes such as Frederick Douglass and James Audubon, and cultural figures like Tiger Woods and Barack Obama.

8.	Cover the current status of multiracial people around the world, such as Mestizos, Creoles, and Brazilians.

9.	Address directly the history of racism against groups of people, including the multiracial population, and discuss the reasons for it.

10.	Study monoracial groups to promote an understanding of the role of race in society by exploring why some people need to belong to an exclusive group or need to feel superior to others, and what the societal and personal consequences of such attitudes are.

Magazines The Abolitionist Examiner (Every other month, TAE will explore concepts promoting freedom from "racial identity" and "racial group-think" through commentary and direct action. TAE believes that "race" is no longer a valid or necessary identifier and continued dependence and allegiance to "race" is only holding back the 'Human Race' from achieving it's true potential. It's time to break the chains and liberate ourselves). INTERRACIAL VOICE ("The VOICE of CONSCIENCE of the Global Mixed-Race/Interracial Movement") MAVIN Magazine (An internationally distributed print and online magazine that celebrates the mixed race experience.

Even if someone is not mixed-race him/herself, if they have a friend or family member who is multiracial, then they too have a "mixed race experience").
