This book contains 17 articles, each by a different author, and addressed to those who wish to become informed about the relationship between multicultural education and competency-based teacher education (CBTE). In order to study the relationship between multicultural education and CBTE, a number of individuals actively engaged in either the study and/or implementation of multicultural education and CBTE were invited to respond to the following two questions: (1) What should be the role of the administrator, teacher, or university faculty member in assuring that competency-based teacher education includes multicultural education in its content?; and (2) From a(n) administrator's, teacher's, or university faculty member's point of view, what problems are you experiencing or do you foresee experiencing in regard to relating the concepts of multicultural education and competency-based teacher education? The first question provided the writers the opportunity to respond to the state of the art concerning the relationship of multicultural education and CBTE--especially at their local sites. The second question provided the writers the opportunity to discuss how they would envision the relationship of multicultural education and CBTE. The articles in this book are the responses to these questions. (RC)
