Reviewed research studies on preservice teacher preparation for multicultural
schools,
particularly schools serving historically underserved communities,
examining the effects of
such strategies as recruiting and selecting students,
cross-cultural immersion experiences,
multicultural coursework, and program
restructuring. Very little research actually examined
which strategies prepared
strong teachers. Most studies addressed white preservice teachers'
attitudes
and lack of knowledge. (SM)
