The final issue addresses diversity in early childhood education. More specific topics within the issues include racial problems, multicultural education, culturally diverse students, the dropout problem, gangs, conflict resolution, test bias, alternative assessment methods, language minority students, grade retention, multiple intelligences, at-risk students, bilingual teachers, minority teachers, teacher recruitment, professional development, teaching strategies, and parent involvement. Entries include journal articles, teaching guides, program descriptions, instructional materials, books, and research reports. Document availability is indicated at the end of each summary; many items are available through CHIME for a nominal fee. Includes CHIME order form and ordering information. (KS)
