Changing demographics in the U.S. require a focus on educating future teachers on how to engage children and families with diverse backgrounds. Teacher educators have been charged to address teachers' cultural competence and provide pedagogical instruction for working with diverse populations. We bolster this line of inquiry by sharing activities used in our university classrooms that support the development of teacher candidates' cultural competence vis-à-vis cultural humility. Acknowledging the development of cultural humility as a process, we provide teacher candidates with opportunities to transform their knowledge, skills, and abilities for working with diverse children and their families, through guided critical reflection, real life situations and field experiences.
