Abstract
This chapter provides a literature review on diversity in teacher education programs, the specifics of curriculum and instruction offered within these programs, and an exploration of how candidates of color experience curriculum and instruction in these programs. While there is a clear pattern in teacher education literature to address the diversity of students in P-12 schools, there is not much research exploring the value of culturally responsive pedagogy in the preparation of teacher candidates of color, and what we do know is based primarily on research in individual teacher education courses and limited studies of field experiences.
