Field Experience: Strategies for Exploring Diversity in Schools

Appropriate for any preservice teacher education courses, particularly those with a field-based component, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Based upon action research and constructivist principles, this book helps readers understand (1) how their own personal biographies relate to classroom instruction, (2) how unintentional cultural bias can greatly impact their students' willingness to learn, and (3) how diversity surrounds every moment in today's classrooms. Upon completing the text and engaging in its various activities, readers will become more sensitive to cultural issues surrounding their classroom curriculum and instruction.
