Canning, Christine
High School Journal, v78 n4 p195-205 Apr-May 1995
A midwestern university provides cross-cultural student teaching experiences in a southwestern city with a large Mexican-American population. Features include two classroom placements, a course in multicultural education, and bicultural mentors. Data from 39 participants identified successful themes and practices in three categories: enabling attitudes, ways to open doors, and observations from the inside. (TD)
