Summary "Introduction to Education: Teaching in a Diverse Society, second edition, is written for students beginning their study of education. As the school population reflects the increasing diversity of America's population, many prospective teachers, typically from the middle classes, will be unprepared for the diverse classrooms they will inevitably encounter. This text helps students prepare to be teachers in a pluralistic society whose classrooms represent an increasingly varied set of cultural histories and values."--BOOK JACKET
