In Chapter Three: Multicultural Education and School Reform, Nieto and Bode define multicultural education. It has seven characteristics. Multicultural education is antiracist, basic education, important for all students, pervasive, education for social justice, a process, and critical pedagogy. This chapter explores multicultural education as a means for comprehensive school reform. Multicultural education is in itself "good pedagogy." It is transformative through the basic principles of respect, critical thinking and accounting for the cultures, languages, and experiences of all students.
