Abstract

I propose to use insight from the dynamic framework of effective teaching (Kyriakides, Creemers, & Antoniou, 2009) to shed light on the interactional dynamics of teaching diversity-related curriculum topics, specifically on the relationships between teacher educator pedagogical knowledge to teach the subject and the subject-specific nature of teacher educator personal constructs. I theorize that in teaching diversity-related curriculum topics, three discrete but interconnecting constructs (teacher agency, teacher passion, and teacher stance) anchor teacher educators in their pedagogical actions. I illustrate my theory by analyzing a single case study of a teacher educator teaching diversity-related curriculum topics for preservice teachers in a teacher education program. Implications for professional development to support teacher educators’ learning to teach diversity-related curriculum topics were provided.
