These institutions are vital to ensuring a diverse teaching force in the U.S." - Marybeth Gasman (Professor, University of Pennsylvania and Director, Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions) “With wide-ranging implications for higher education policy, Teacher Education across Minority Serving Institutions is honest and optimistic about transforming teaching practice through MSI teacher prep programs. Its grounded perspectives, intelligent analyses, and compelling narratives make this book an insightful read and a valuable contribution to higher education literature.”- Ivory Toldson, Ph.D. (Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Negro Education and Former Director, White House Initiative on HBCUs)
