Abstract
Christopher Emdin states, “to be in touch with the community, one has to enter the physical places where students live, and work to be invited into the emotion-laden space the youth inhabit” (Edmin 2016, p. 21). Teacher preparation programs do not adequately prepare future educators to enter urban schools and create meaningful relationships with their students and the communities they serve (Ladson-Billings, 2000). This research study is designed to measure the impacts of meaningful, year-long professional development and support as it relates to developing cultural competence, culturally responsive teaching, and their use of reality pedagogy.
