Cultural Awareness through Biographies

One teacher educator's approach to developing cultural awareness among future teachers was to have them read biographies and autobiographies about teachers in a variety of situations. Student responses to the personal stories are discussed. Use of such materials in a variety of disciplines, as a means of promoting critical thinking, is recommended. (MSE)
