What Diverse, Rural Communities Need and Want from Their Teachers

Two community meetings in a rural multicultural New Mexico school district examined community expectations of teachers. Awareness and sensitivity to cultural differences were identified as the most important qualities. Other qualities are presented in three sections: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Commonly held values and beliefs of Native American and Hispanic communities are identified. (TD)
