The Use of Case Studies in Preparing Teachers for Cultural Diversity

Cases offer prospective teachers vicarious experience in culturally different settings. This paper uses examples of cases from the Teachers for Alaska Program, which successfully altered the way teachers educated culturally diverse students. The paper considers how teacher education can create multicultural cases that address local circumstances and describes how to read, write, and discuss cases. (SM)
