Multicultural Experiences Exist in Rural Areas.
Lotven, Brian
Rural Educator, v5 n1 p17-20 Fall 1983
Legislation requiring multicultural education for teacher preparation programs could help dispel misconceptions about the homogeneity of rural American (all redneck farmers/ranchers, no poverty). Using field experiences in rural areas/schools for beginning teachers to observe cultural pluralism may have serendipitous effects of promoting positive self-image among rural students. (MH)
