  In Poster Session: Multicultural/Multiethnic Education: Theory and Practice

Abstract

This case study uses sociocultural, critical literacy and empathic identities to inform the design and analyze data from this qualitative research study. The current study investigated preservice and in-service teachers’ experiences and understandings as they participate in a multicultural children and young adult literature course that includes a visit to a Holocaust museum. Findings have implications for teacher education as well as K-12 classroom practices.
