The editors have gathered together some of the top researchers in
teacher education to explore both the theoretical parameters and
practical dimensions of transforming teacher education programmes
to educate teachers for diversity. The programmes outlined in these
chapters address the necessity of providing preservice teachers
with learning experiences that will help them facilitate learning
in culturally and linguistically diverse school settings. The
contributors identify the competence, skills, knowledge and
attitude needed to teach diverse populations effectively and
equitably, including methods and experiences to expand
understanding of diversity, racism, social justice, and culturally
responsive instruction. The book is organized to focus attention on
paradigmatic models for transforming teacher education in three
general areas: delineating the historical dimensions, contemporary
perspectives, and guiding rationales for the transformation of
teacher preparation; explicating the theoretical underpinnings of
programme processes for preparing teachers; and presenting model
programmes that incorporate curriculum and pedagogy, field-based
professional development, and assessment strategies to prepare
teachers to be effective in culturally diverse settings.
Contributors include Mary E. Diez, A. Lin Goodwin, Susan L.
Melnick, Peter Murrell, Jr., Valerie Ooka Pang, Priscilla H.
Walton, and Kenneth M. Zeichner.
