Experiences of Preservice Teachers of Color at a Predominantly White Institution
Robyn Robinson; Elizabeth Kenyon
International Journal of Multicultural Education, v26 n2 p38-56 2024
This phenomenological study explores the experiences of preservice teachers of color in a teacher education program at a predominantly white institution. Participants experienced feelings of isolation, being targeted because of their race, lack of multicultural education in the program, and feelings of tension in wanting to speak out and fearing the consequences of speaking out. Recommendations are given for improving teacher education programs to better meet the needs of preservice teachers of color.
