The Multicultural Resource Center (MRC) provides educators with resources for creating culturally responsive learning environments. The MRC offers multicultural materials, curriculum, and professional development opportunities for educators.

Educators from our eight-district collaborative may check out multicultural curriculum materials, cultural artifacts, books, videos, DVDs, music CDs, framed artwork, and professional development resources to bring multiple cultural perspectives to their classrooms. Our collection features materials from cultures in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, the Pacific Rim, and South America.

To view portions of the catalog please click here.  To request resources, please fill out a registration form or contact J. Ayenna Davis at (763) 450-1331 or jdavis@nws.k12.mn.us.
