Project Title: Culturally Responsive Teaching

COE Investigator: Geneva Gay

Start/End Dates: Ongoing

This research examines why future teachers need to develop multicultural competencies, how to integrate general principles of multicultural education and curriculum design into teacher preparation programs, and how to accomplish integration so prospective teachers will be empowered to continue their professional growth in multiculturalism. The work has led to the articulation of design principles underlying good practice in multicultural preservice teacher education, falling under the three main categories of (1) institutional and programmatic principles, (2) personnel principles, and (3) curriculum and instruction principles.
