Today's teachers must be equipped to reach all children and embrace a pedagogy of equity. Toward that end, teacher preparation programs need to foster a transformationist pedagogy which allows students to develop into culturally responsive teachers. This paper describes three components of a teacher preparation program that embraces teaching for equity as part of its central mission. These program components include the program mission, course experiences and continuous assessment. These components are part of a systematic, multi-faceted, integrated approach that allows teacher candidates to transform themselves and see the world in new ways.
