Critical Issue: Creating High-Achieving Learning Environments Paul Winfield

Paul Winfield, actor and narrator of NCREL's video, Many Voices, Many Dreams (1995), challenges educators to move beyond the surface in celebrating cultural diversity.

"Typically our schools ignore differences rather than explore and examine them. Schools tend to recognize this kind of diversity only on days set aside to celebrate the food, festivals and famous people of minority cultures."
