The catalyst for transforming program curricula was the preparation process for initial professional accreditation through the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). This inquiry was initiated as a result of a non-related research project in which we exploring perspectives of preservice teachers, who are members of underrepresented identity groups. It was through initial data gathering that we began to question the authenticity of the aforementioned transformation. For the purposes of this paper, we focus on the elementary teacher education program in which we all were faculty. Data collected and examined were from the research project initial interviews, course curricula (NCATE evidence), and our reflections on our other faculty experiences.

During the semester prior to their student teaching, 16 candidates at a large public university in the southeastern U.S. enrolled in four content methods courses. Taught by the authors of this article, the curriculum of these courses emphasized social justice dimensions of teaching rather than just focusing on skills and strategies. Drawing from the multiple data sources, the authors highlight the possibilities and limitations of teacher education for social change and argue that greater resources are needed for teacher education to effect true social change.

Specifically, we focus on our trials and triumphs in implementing the revised curricula. Our work is guided by the following question: in what ways do preservice teachers deem the diversity-focused course curriculum as relevant to their future teaching stances/practices?

Some of the data indicated that preservice teachers deemed the diversity-focused course curriculum as relevant to and connected with their future teaching stances/practices. Other data highlighted that some preservice teachers' struggled with making sense of their future teaching practices in relation to issues of oppression and privilege, while other preservice teachers were resistant. r
