| Abstract: |
This article explores critical studies in education by examining avenues through which teacher education programs problematize racial mismatch in K-12 classrooms. More specifically, the article describes the efforts of a regional teacher education program to support its pre-service teachers by providing opportunities to engage with racially diverse populations of students. This was accomplished through an elementary and middle school STEM summer enrichment program serving over 500 students from Title I schools. Pre-service teachers were surveyed about their experience and reported how they perceive students, race, and themselves within the context of a Title I school setting. Findings, centering on the exploration of pre-service teachers' attitudes, suggest the need for pre-service teachers to be engaged with diverse school settings and populations during their teacher education programs. |
