Cultural Diversity Is Basically a Foreign Term to Me: The Challenges of Diversity for Preservice Teacher Education.
Causey, Virginia E.; Thomas, Christine D.; Armento, Beverly J.
Teaching and Teacher Education, v16 n1 p33-45 Jan 2000
Investigated the effectiveness of a program to facilitate preservice teachers' intercultural sensitivity, examining the beliefs of two teachers at the end of the program and noting residual effects 3 years later. Data from students' journals, narratives, essays, observations, and interviews indicated that the program had its intended effect to some degree, though there were differences in the two teachers.
