Abstract
Multicultural and anti-racist education are pedagogies developed to include all students, despite their
cultural and lingual backgrounds. As educative pedagogies, they recognize the importance of ethnic
and cultural diversity in affecting people’s existence, social involvements, identities, and educational
opportunities (Gay, 2004). This paper presents various approaches that encourage curriculum reform
through the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT). The paper highlights the efficacy of the different
approaches in providing equal opportunities for students from diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, and
cultural backgrounds to succeed academically.
