Description
Children cannot be expected to develop a sensitivity toward others merely because they are told so. Attitudes are difficult to change ... Literature allows individuals to share in the lives of others; it can also provide an avenue for multicultural understanding. (Wham, Barnhart, & Cook, 1996, p. 2) A major goal of most teacher education programs is the development of teachers who are sensitive supporters of all students, embrace diversity, and plan and implement inclusive and culturally responsive instruction. Student populations, even within teacher education programs, are not always endowed with the desired attitudes and wisdom that allow them to embrace such diversity; thus they need guidance from the teacher education faculty.
