Teachers frequently ask their students various types of geographic questions. The questions may be relevant to academic content and the learning process or they may be pertinent to students' personal lives. All geographic questions and conversations yield ideal opportunities for teachers to convey powerful multicultural perspectives integrated within the context of their curriculum and daily teaching practices. Many teachers are not aware of the meaningful learning experiences that they can create for their students by empowering their geographic questions with multicultural perspectives. Nor are they aware of the powerful role modeling they share with their young learners. These conclusions were some of the outcomes compiled by a group of 25 graduate students, all practicing kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, enrolled in a multicultural education course. They examined the links between various geographic questions that teachers ask their students and the multicultural perspectives that teachers model and reinforce with their students that communicate powerful messages for valuing cultural diversity. This article shares the results of their exploration and gives five suggestions for teachers to integrate into their effective instructional practices
