Preparing Teachers for Culturally Diverse Students
This article brought up a lot of good points but it seems a bit dated and presumptuous. Firstly, the article uses White and colored to describe students and that in itself makes the article sound extremely outdated and prejudice. It is unfair to say that "white" students and "white" preservice student are not going to bring as rich of a cultural diversity to the classroom because they are white. It is not the color of your skin that determines the cultural diversity you bring into the classroom, it is your life experience based on your own cultural diversity. However it is fair to say that some preservice students are very naive about the struggle of others, especially that of inner city children. Though, it seems like the classes at ISU are trying to make their students learn about and have more encounters with culturally diverse students.
