Introduction

America has approximately more than three hundred million people which make her the third in the world. She won her in dependence from Great Britain and largely upholds fundamental rights and freedoms of her citizenry.

Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism is a philosophical and a political process that leads to conglomeration of different cultures. In the United States, multiculturalism underscores their belief in ‘goodness and forthrightness that underpins their legitimacy to govern the world.’

Multicultural and Bilingual Education

Multicultural education cuts across all spectrums of life.  It largely dictates the content of the curriculum that is taught at school, the instruments and methodologies used to deliver the content as well as taking into account what learners bring with them to their learning experience.

On the other hand, bilingual education is of different types namely; transitional, developmental and dual language. All of which are aimed and imparting skills and knowledge in the Childs native language and this can be transliterated later on in English.

Lastly, teachers too, have played a role in identification and assessment of learners with disability since they can easily notice anomalies in children mode of conduct.
