Description

Most of the teaching population is white. Additionally, many pre-service teachers grow up in increasingly segregated schools. This study analyzes the impact of exposing pre-service teachers to students who are racially different from themselves while also addressing their biases and prejudices. They found that the pre-service teachers developed cultural humility by connecting to students through stories, understanding and accommodating students' strengths, and catering their teaching through reciprocal relationships.
