Race and Ethnicity in the Teacher Education Curriculum by William Trent - 1990William Trent presents a series of arguments for his proposal that the importance of race
and ethnicity in education should become a primary area of study for the prospective teacher. Trent notes recent research showing that blacks and Hispanics are among those groups
least well served by schooling in the United States, yet these groups will constitute an
ever-increasing proportion of students. The problem is exacerbated, in Trent’s view, by
the opposite trend in the proportion of minority students who will be teachers, necessitating new understandings and new approachesfor majority-population teachers who will
be called on to teach increasing numbers of minority youth.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below:
