Multicultural learning explores the tapestry of perspectives in our world, reaching across boundaries of ability, age, class, gender, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation and other social and cultural identities. Differences are valued, awareness of social justice and power is emphasized, and everyone attends respectfully to what others say and mean. Multicultural learning is education for life in our multicultural world.

This collection of resources draws on materials developed by Center for Teaching and Learning staff members, by the Center's Multicultural Teaching and Learning Fellows, and by the College of Education Committee on Diversity. CTL offers this as a dynamic resource, and welcomes hearing about new resources. Please contact us via teachlrn@umn.edu. Read on for a brief overview of the resource links provided below.
