Investigated preservice teachers' understandings of their own and their students'
cultural
backgrounds, examining how they integrated those understandings into
literacy instruction.
The ABC model (autobiographies, biographies of students,
cross-cultural analysis, analysis of
cultural differences, and classroom practices)
helped stimulate students to continue
examining their lives, their cultural/linguistic
backgrounds, and the impact of those factors
on teaching diverse students.
