This study employed qualitative methods to analyze teacher's level of multicultural understanding and perceptions of cultural issues when discussing their culturally diverse students in the context of the consultation process. Three school psychologists in urban city high schools, engaged in audio-recorded consultation sessions with consultee-teachers who voluntarily sought services. Audio-recorded tapes of consultation sessions were transcribed and coded by two trained raters and qualitatively analyzed by co-researchers who recorded multicultural thematic issues as categories. Cultural themes and categories indicated that teachers demonstrated cultural awareness and sensitivity regarding their culturally diverse students, yet showed less developed cultural knowledge-base and skill levels. The study's methodological approach utilized a multicultural coding system that may be used to qualitatively identify cultural issues/themes of concern as a tool for assessing multicultural competency levels in consultation.

K 12

In this study, the researcher has explored and described K-12 school teachers’ perceptions of multicultural education and their professional preparation to teach culturally diverse students in a Northwest Florida school district. This was a descriptive study, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. A proportionate stratified random sample of 150 K-12 teachers was used for the survey and a case study of 15 teachers for the interviews. Correlation coefficients and ANOVA results determined overall significantly low correlations between teachers’ demographics and their perceptions. Previous research and the findings from this study indicate a need for effective preparation in multicultural education for teachers of culturally diverse students.

Different Populations

Preparing teachers to assist linguistically and culturally diverse students to integrate is difficult as the paradigm is not limited to students but radiates outwards. Preparation of teachers in Greece has involved the incorporation of foreign languages and courses in multiculturalism in their program of study in an effort to promote multilingualism (ML), multicultural efficacy (ME), and intercultural sensitivity (IS). In this research brief, the authors attempt to look at how we prepare teachers to meet increased challenges migration of very different populations brings to their teaching as well as how their attitude toward multilingualism, ME, and IS may be interrelated. The study's main objectives are to measure this group's level of IS, ME, and multilingual language attitudes and examine their relationship. The goal is to determine how well equipped these pre-service teachers are to deal with the linguistically and culturally diverse student populations they will be called upon to teach and what facilitates them achieving this end.
