Description

Introduction The composition of families is changing (Huston, 2001) and is readily apparent in the variety of families represented by students in today's classrooms. Advocates from the fields of social work and psychological counseling (Okun, 1996) as well as from adoptive, step, and gay family support networks (Geis-Rockwood, 1990) have come to the fore to call for changes in curriculum and for teacher education programs to recognize and address this often-neglected form of diversity; yet, the multicultural education and diversity issues discussed in today's teacher education courses at our major universities and colleges are often still restricted to their foundational concerns with discussions of race, ethnicity, class, and gender.
