This is the fourth in a series of four books presenting a variety of field experience program models and philosophies that drive the programs provided to preservice teachers during their undergraduate teacher preparation. This book focuses on critical issues facing teaching education in the future, in particular field experiences. Major themes addressed include adequate training for preservice teachers in multicultural education; consensus-building, problem-solving, and decision-making skills; use of technology; legal issues related to teaching; and international field experiences.

Costa); (3) "Promoting Reflective Practices" (H. Jerome Freiberg); (4) "A Legal Primer for Student Teachers" (Julie Fisher Mead and Julie K. Underwood); (5) "Field Experiences in Multicultural Environments" (Rafael Lara-Alecio and Emilio Rendon); (6) "Using Technology To Prepare Teachers: Future Possibilities" (Joan P.
