Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate staff members’ conceptions of equity and their role in driving equity within teacher education programs at minority-serving institutions. By critically examining staff members’ conceptions of equity and their role in the organizational structure for equity, this study aims to shed light on practices that hold the potential to create more inclusive and effective teacher education programs. Utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis, this multiple case study of four teacher education programs at minority-serving institutions examines staff members’ role in driving equity that impacts programmatic equity efforts in teacher education.
