Multiculturalism’s Five Dimensions Dr. James A. Banks on Multicultural Education The article presents the five dimensions of Multicultural Education, and how teachers can help transform the world by giving equal opportunities to all students and create positive racial attitudes.

First, noticing if any children are struggling with otherness is imperative. It is important that an educator be attentive to the children and how they interact. Identifying a child that is being “othered” depends on monitoring their social interactions.

With uniforms, a more professional tone is set in school, encouraging students to take their studies more seriously” (Chen 1). Current interest in investigating the motivational dimension of school environments to guide both policy and applications stems partially from proposals by researchers in the early 1990s suggesting the focus on changing the child
