Strengths:
This site offers examples of contemporary educational research projects and provides an updated perspective on specific areas of interest, including assessing historical understanding (Nazi Germany and the Holocaust) which is relevant to Cultural Diversity in education.
Concerns:
The content of the site at this time is limited in providing resources relevant to Cultural Diversity. It would seem that this site would be better placed in a different category, maybe Assessment and/or Educational Psychology since much of the research focuses on Multiple Intelligences Theory and the culture of work environments.
