Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers: Meeting the Challenge of Diverse Family Structures.
Midkiff, Ruby Bostick; Lawler-Prince, Dianne
Action in Teacher Education, v14 n3 p1-5 Fall 1992
Teacher education programs must help teachers handle children from diverse family backgrounds. Knowledge of family structures, acceptance of changes, and techniques for improving communication with parents should be included in preservice and inservice teacher education. Children's literature provides one way for teacher educators to increase knowledge in that area. (SM)
