The Asset of Cultural Pluralism: An Account of Cross-Cultural Learning in Pre-Service Teacher Education

Highlights a Canadian preservice educator in a cross- cultural course who worked with student teachers to understand how they encountered one another's diverse attitudes and values, promoting a theory of cross-cultural education that validated experiential interactions as moments of learning. This led to a vision of pluralism where diversity helped create interpretive competence through encounters of difference and self-study. (SM)
