Learning from Our Diverse Students: Helping Teachers Rethink Problematic Teaching and Learning Situations.
Greenleaf, Cynthia; And Others
Teaching and Teacher Education, v10 n5 p521-41 Sep 1994

The paper examines research on helping teachers think more generatively about increasingly diverse student populations. Preservice teachers can be taught to handle multicultural classrooms by interpreting problematic student performance in the form of open-ended case data. (SM)
