Crossing Borders with a Level of Caring: An Ingredient for White Student Teachers When Immersing Themselves in Urban School Neighborhoods
Fife-Demski, Veronica
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v18 n1-2 p71-83 2016
Few student teaching programs offer opportunities to live in the same communities in which they teach. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of White Urban Student Teachers (USTs) in an immersive program. Findings are represented via analytical portrayal and thematic analysis. This study calls for dedicated USTs and continued teacher education preparation in order to enhance interactions and connections they make with local community members.
