 Contributions Approach Reflects the surface level of culture—such as celebrating holidays—but does not provide an in- depth student of more profound cultural elements.  Additive Approach Incorporates multiple perspectives when investigating a topic—like looking at a historical event from a different cultural viewpoint—but the addition is incidental to instruction and the curriculum remains largely unchanged.  Transformative Approach In this approach examining cultural and ethic differences drives instruction—understanding the concepts, events, issues and perspectives is key to learning the content being presented.  Decision-making/Social Action Approach Is designed to engage students in a project or activity that encourages students to learn about multicultural issues, evaluate it from various cultural points of views and take action on those conclusions in the interest of social justice.
