Studying Diversity in Teacher Education is a collaborative effort
by experts seeking to elucidate one of the most important issues
facing education today. First, the volume examines historically
persistent, yet unresolved issues in teacher education and presents
research that is currently being done to address these issues.
Second, it centers on research on diverse populations, bringing
together both research on diversity and research on diversity in
teacher education. The contributors present frameworks,
perspectives and paradigms that have implications for reframing
research on complex issues that are often ignored or treated too
simplistically in teacher education literature. Concluding the
volume with an agenda for future research and a guide for preparing
teachers for diversity education in a global context, the
contributors provide a solid foundation for all educators. Studying
Diversity in Teacher Education is a vital resource for all those
interested in diversity and education research.

Equality or Equity sets forth a compelling argument urging us to
shift our understanding of the role of our education system from
providing equal opportunity to building an equitable society. A
leading scholar-practitioner and ardent proponent of culturally
responsive forms of education, Jeffrey M. R. Duncan-Andrade aims to
settle the debates over whether we should work toward a public
education system built on the goal of equality, in which identical
resources are provided for all students, or equity, in which
different resources are offered in response to differences in
student interests and needs. Duncan-Andrade centers his argument on
the importance of creating meaningful education experiences for all
students, particularly for low-income students of color and
immigrant students, who have gained relatively fewer benefits from
decades of equality-focused education reform. Drawing on research
from across a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, social
epidemiology, public health, and social work, Duncan-Andrade
introduces three essential domains of a pedagogy that are both
culturally and community responsive: relationships, relevance, and
responsibility. He enlists the voices of practitioners to provide
grounded examples of what community-responsive pedagogy looks like
in each of these domains. These examples demonstrate how equitable
classroom practices can enrich student engagement, enhance trauma
responsiveness, and improve educational outcomes. Equality or
Equity makes an urgent appeal for designing and implementing a
truly equitable school system and shows us how we can begin to
accomplish that goal.
