Our intention with this study is to investigate teachers work in a multicultural classroom. For the purpose of this study, a web survey was constructed. The investigation was carried out among teachers on three different multicultural secondary schools in Sweden. 53 teachers informed us about their own experiences and thoughts concerning their work in a multicultural classroom. Conceptions as multiculturalism, methods in teaching, the climate in classrooms, teacher cultures and interculturalism has been used in the study. The investigation partly indicates that some teachers do not take multiculturalism into consideration, instead they have a individual view on their students. Although the majority of the teachers do that and actively tries to improve their work within the multicultural classroom. The teachers take care of their students similarities and differences because they want the students to understand about differences. Different views and perspectives are enriching. In order to improve their work the teachers wants further education and more support from the school management and colleagues. The teachers have a positive attitude in general towards the multicultural classroom.
