Abstract

How do teachers operationalize culturally relevant pedagogies (CRP)? Although preservice teachers often learn about multicultural education in college courses and discuss diversity in university settings, putting these understandings into practice is often more challenging.

The study provides insights into how teachers can move away from superficial efforts to include diversity in their classrooms and towards more critically-conscious pedagogies.
