Increasing Critical Multicultural Understanding via Technology: "Teachable Moments" in a University-School Partnership Project.
Overview & Synopsis
A university-school correspondence partnership project was designed to enhance student teachers' multicultural awareness and understanding. This electronic mail-based project had undergraduates interact with culturally and experientially diverse students. The project provided many teachable moments, which resulted in contextualized understanding of concepts, awareness of biases and experiential gaps, increased self-reflection, and orientation toward action for greater educational and social equity.
