This historiography chronicles educators’ efforts to teach for diversity through heightening awareness of immigrant experiences as well as discrimination against minoritized religious and racial groups in public school classrooms from the 1920s through the 1970s. This curriculum and pedagogical work was couched under various terms, such as intercultural education, intergroup education, human relations, and cultural pluralism. Drawing from published secondary research literature as well as primary archival sources, we aim to disrupt commonly held views that intercultural education/intergroup education met its demise in the 1950s and show how curriculum and pedagogy shifted after the landmark 1954 ruling of Brown v. Board of Education toward improving intergroup relations within the context of school desegregation. In the end we identify common themes across the decades that include the failure to recruit and support a diverse teaching force, the importance of teacher-led curriculum and professional development, and the lack of a sustained focus on race and racism in classroom practices.

多元化教学：1920 年代至 1970 年代公立学校的跨文化和跨群体教育

这本历史编纂记录了教育工作者在 1920 年代到 1970 年代通过提高对移民经历以及公立学校课堂中对少数宗教和种族群体的歧视的意识来教授多样性的努力。该课程和教学工作以不同的术语表述，例如跨文化教育、群体间教育、人际关系和文化多元化。借鉴已发表的二级研究文献和主要档案资料，我们旨在打破普遍认为跨文化教育/跨群体教育在 1950 年代消亡的观点，并展示在 1954 年具有里程碑意义的布朗诉董事会裁决后课程和教学法如何转变在学校取消种族隔离的背景下改善群体间关系的教育。
