Hello,
I am looking for an OER for the course: Introduction to Multicultural Education
Course Description: This course provides an introduction to the principles and concepts of multicultural education. Emphasis is on using this knowledge to create a classroom environment that is respectful of all student cultures and recognizes the diverse world in which they live. Students learn to utilize a variety of strategies, activities, resources, and techniques to foster multicultural awareness and promote an equitable classroom setting for all children. Additionally, students focus on effective communication with diverse families, children, and colleagues, and learn to understand how cultural differences may play a role in communication, as well as social and family dynamics.
There are a few conversations on this thread, but none within the last 5 years. Currently, I use a mix of article and web resources but am looking for something more cohesive for my accelerated term courses (7 weeks).
This is what I had gathered from past chats in this group:
-Course Map: http://openoregon.org/resources/?keyword=multicultural&discipline=Education
-Culturally Responsive Teaching: A 50-State Survey of Teaching Standards (CC BY)
-EdTech Books, https://edtechbooks.org/

The rest of the links are no longer current. I have searched and googled vehemently, including PressBooks, OpenOregon, EdTech Books, Libre Texts.
There is a text that almost meets my needs but it is from 2017 and uses outdated terminology: Exploring Socio-cultural perspectives in Diversity (libretext)
Thank you very much for your help and support.
