Higbee, J. L. (2001). Promoting multiculturalism in developmental education. Research and Teaching in Developmental Education, 18(1), 51-57.
The author describes the importance of multiculturalism being deeply embedded within the curriculum and culture of the institution in general and developmental education in particular. This is especially true since often such programs have the most culturally diverse student populations. Examples are provided for ways for the institution and the classroom instructor to incorporate multiculturalism.
