"Understanding the Whole Student presents a holistic approach to multicultural issues by viewing them in terms of the student as a physical, psychosocial, cognitive, ethical, and spiritual being. Conversely, these levels of a student's being cannot be seen apart from the student's cultural identities. This book demonstrates that, in a pluralistic democracy, good teaching and deep learning must be multicultural and must look at the student as a whole being - not just as a future worker in a transnational corporate economy, as is currently the case with both neoliberal and neoconservative programs for "reform." The authors contend that good education is, and must be, multicultural in order to gain a deeper perspective on issues under analysis in the classroom through the sharing and negotiating of many different cultural perspectives."--BOOK JACKET.
