Students of Colour as Cultural Consultants: A Self-study of Race and Social Justice Issues in a teacher Education Programme
Authors: Johnston-Parsons Marilyn, Lee Young Ah, Thomas Michael
This paper documents our learning over a 3-year period from students of colour in our M.Ed. certification programme. Students of colour are always a minority (8% to 20%) in our programmes.

The students of colour became our cultural consultants as we talked about their perceptions of our teaching and the programme.
