Preparing mathematics and science teachers for diverse classrooms

About this book

"This book provides a theoretical basis and practical strategies to counter resistance to learning to teach for diversity (in culturally and gender-inclusive ways), and resistance to teaching for understanding (using student-centered and inquiry-based pedagogical approaches). Teacher educators from across the United States present narratives of their experiences in helping prospective and practicing teachers learn to teach for diversity and for understanding in a variety of mathematics and science contexts." "This book is a resource for teacher educators, K-12 teachers who work as student-teacher supervisors and cooperating teachers, and graduate students in mathematics and science education. This volume is also a text for science and mathematics methods courses."--BOOK JACKET.
