Bilingual Interns' Barriers to Becoming Teachers: At What Cost Do We Diversify the Teaching Force?
Waldschmidt, Eileen Dugan
Bilingual Research Journal, v26 n3 p537-61 Fall 2002
A critical ethnography of three Mexican American bilingual interns examines the barriers that minority individuals face in gaining licensure to teach. These include a salary reduction, a stressful workload, teacher exams, inability to use their bilingual education skills, and mentors with no experience in bilingual education or at the interns' grade level. Recommendations are offered. (Contains 43 references.) (TD)
