Preparation for Culturally Competent Teaching: Applying a Developmental Perspective
Overview & Synopsis
In this article, we propose a developmental perspective on preparing preservice and in-service teachers to teach in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. We place emphasis on the importance of moving beyond didactic content-focused approaches to more systematic process-based efforts to scaffold cultural competence. Finally, we address the value of modeling culturally sensitive practice within the teacher education community.
