Description
As an assistant professor in teacher education, I was concerned that, except for a few isolated components in a few courses, there was little to prepare future teachers in our programs to understand or to meet the needs of minority learners. Nothing had been designed to facilitate their understanding that diversity includes them even if they are of Anglo descent, English speaking, without a disability, and heterosexual. Further, at the time teacher preparation curricula were not designed to have a positive transformative impact on their perceptions of diversity issues, the kind of impact that would cause them to value human diversity, to care enough to teach their learners valuing for people of diverse origins and how to learn from those peoples more of what it means to be fully human.
