Bean-Folkes, Jane; Browne, Susan; McGinn Luet, Kathryn
Educational Forum, v84 n3 p258-271 2020
This essay reflects on ways to equip teacher candidates so they are not only prepared to answer tough questions, but are educated for the linguistic and literacy challenges of today's classrooms. We recognize that with an ever-growing majority minority population, it is time to change the teacher preparation system, and to support current teachers and the preparation of future teachers for the field; these changes need to be soon and are imperative.
