This is what was I was thinking about when the first thread of this 
conversation
started. I often feel like MCTE in teacher education courses that I am 
familiar with depend
the most on the professor and so very often new teachers go through the 
program making
little connection to their own practice. We know very often human 
beings think they know
and think they get it and think they apply it and so hardly listen and  
then would be hard
pressed to really apply good MCTE standards in their own classrooms. I 
am of the opinion
that the work has hardly begun and of late we are perhaps back stepping 
as well.

This is good conversation- thank you for the responses.  It is clear 
that many
movements either paralleled or gave rise to what we now know as 
multicultural
teacher education (i.e- intergroup ed, intercultural ed, black ed, 
multiethnic
ed, civil rights movement) and some universities took it upon 
themselves to
include MCTE in their grad/teacher prep program before 1977- but I 
wonder if
the NCATE standards of 1977 weren't issued, and the books from AACTE 
and ASCD
weren't published- how much longer would it have taked for MCTE to 
become
mainstream or deliberately a part of teacher preparation programs?  Was 
that
the tipping point?  Would it have been up to progressive/radical 
educators to
do this alone on their respective campuses?  I think we can still argue 
that
quality MCTE is still not a part of teacher preparation programs- some
universities enact Standard 4 with better quality and more than a 
one-shot,
catch all course or tourist-heroes-holiday-human relation-approaches 
than
others.  What is the next tipping point?  It certainly wasn't NCLB.
