ABSTRACT: The 1976 Claremont, California, symposium to
exchange and clarify ideas regarding the study and
implementation of new alternatives to quality cultural
education focused on two main concepts. The first was the
concept of transcultural education design; the second, that
cultural uniqueness in our society results from the
capability to be responsive and responsible to
opportunities of having cultural options with more than one
defined culture. Fifteen presentations from the symposium
have been collected in this book of readings intended for
teachers, counselors, curriculum planners, resource
specialists, teacher trainers, and administrators. The
articles address the rationale, design, and instructional
process of transcultural education; bilingual transcultural
education; teacher preparation for a pluralistic society
and for bilingual teachers; materials evaluation and
selection; curriculum development; testing and cultural
diversity; and social studies and transcultural education.
