Within the past two decades multicultural education initiatives have focused on promoting culturally responsive pedagogy among preservice teachers through the use of classroom and fieldwork experiences in teacher preparation programs. However, to our knowledge, no teacher preparation programs have formally integrated the use of online resources to enhance multicultural competency training among preservice teachers. This paper reviews existing literature in preparing multiculturally competent teachers. It examines how online resources can contribute to the development of multicultural competencies, and provides a model, based on principles of self-regulation theory and multicultural competencies, for incorporating the use of online resources for multicultural competency training in teacher preparation programs.
