Research supports the…

Franquiz, Maria E.; Salazar, Maria del Carmen; DeNicolo, Christina Passos – Bilingual Research Journal, 2011
This article argues that teacher-education programs often promote surface conceptions of inclusivity that limit preservice teachers' ability to understand and build upon the lived experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse youth. Conventional wisdom implies that teachers of color are native informants of these lived experiences; however,…
