Bogard, Treavor Cultural Awareness Preservice Teachers Teacher Education Culturally Relevant Education Teaching Methods Active Learning Student Projects Service Learning Student Attitudes Teacher education programs advocating for culturally sustaining teaching practices are concerned with providing experiences that develop cultural competencies and dispositions for teaching in diverse environments. Gloria Ladson-Billings (1995), influential research in the area of culturally relevant pedagogy, found that effective educators understand the culture of their students and make "conscious decisions to be a part of the community from which their students come (p 479)." This article examines the potential of empathetic immersion into students' communities using Humanity-Centered Design (HCD) for cultivating cultural competencies in preservice teachers (PTs). The authors describe how two HCD projects, a literacy center library and HCD informed lesson planning activity, immersed PTs into experiences that disrupt previously held beliefs and fostered dispositions for culturally effective teaching practices.
