Description

Objectives and Theoretical Framework Preparing European-American pre-service teachers for diverse urban school settings poses multiple challenges. Of primary concern are the differences in race, culture, and community between teachers and students (Haberman, 1995; Ladson-Billings, 1994; McIntyre, 1997; Sleeter, 1992). Because new teachers prefer to work where they grew up (Quality Counts, 2000), most preservice teachers want to teach students who are like themselves in familiar settings, and they are often uncomfortable interacting with families from ethnic and language minorities (Gomez, 1996; Zeichner & Baker, 1995).
