Description
Introduction As classrooms become more diverse, one of the necessary goals of teacher education programs is to prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) to work with children of diverse populations (Cochran-Smith, 2000; Ladson-Billings, 1995; Sleeter, 2001). PSTs who derive largely from a dominant White culture will clearly face this challenge. One effective approach used to assist PSTs to grasp the issues of cultural awareness and diversity involves the use of reflection to consider one's identity in relationship to others. Garmon (2005) argues that "regular reflection on one's teaching is considered an essential practice for teachers, and it is equally important in developing multicultural knowledge and sensitivity" (p. 278).
