Diversity is a hallmark of a quality education, and a failure to educate without diverse perspectives is a failure to educate. Unfortunately, few teachers have benefited from teacher preparation programs that help them take advantage of diversity as a value-added aspect of education. With funding from the U.S. Office of Educational Research and Improvement and from the Research Foundation of SUNY-Albany, Mary Louise Gomez and Gloria Ladson-Billings are helping teachers learn more about diversity and to make better use of diversity (their students', the parents', and the community's) in the classroom to enhance learning.
