Relevance: We need to consider the implications of how and who we hire and train to be our future teachers. How are we going to promote different races to become teachers? We need to see more teachers of different backgrounds in all our schools.
Karleta, I found this article interesting. I was surprised like the author of the findings in school settings. I agree with you that there are implications of who we hire and train to be our future teachers. The current studies of the relationship between teachers’ multicultural beliefs and awareness and their effectiveness in the classroom will be telling.
