Abstract
The purpose of this study was to discover the quality of multicultural instruction that students in a preservice teacher education program received. Seventeen students at a large mid western university received baseline instruction in education that is multicultural during their Introduction to Education class and were then interviewed at the end of each of the three remaining semesters of their teacher education sequence. Interview questions explored areas such as the kind of additional instruction in education that is multicultural they received, their comfort level in working with education that is multicultural, and their attempt to affirm education that is multicultural both during their university coursework and during their school-based practicums.Keywords
