Straight Talk: Talking across Race in Schools
Cicetti-Turro, Danielle
Multicultural Perspectives, v9 n1 p45-49 Apr 2007
This article explores the responsibility of teacher education programs for creating effective dialogue among the educators they train and certify in the profession of education. This article details: (1) the manners in which dialogue occurs across race and the significant need to open this dialogue; (2) the need to close the gap between the overwhelmingly European-American female teaching population and the increasingly diverse student population; and, finally, (3) the burden that teacher education programs face in facilitating dialogue of race and culture.
