Definition

  • The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it. —Karl Marx, 11th thesis on Feuer bach How does one prepare teachers to work in environments characterized by (cultural, ethnic, racial, income) diversity, such as inner-city (urban) schools? Much of the existing research on schools, teacher education, and diversity has attempted to understand (interpreted) the world of schooling in various ways, without being able to effect change.
