This is a study that looks at how culturally responsive pedagogy affects teacher education
programs for teacher candidates of color. This study uses data sources such as focus groups,
interviews, observations, and more. The study shows that pedagogy that is culturally responsive
enhances learning experience for teacher candidates of color. Teacher educators that were
conscious of culture, and made it a part of pedagogy, better prepared future educators, especially
those of color. Teacher educators that did this also gave teacher candidates of color an
empowered view of their abilities, allowed them to become better educators, and provided them
with tools to use in their future classroom.

This paper discovers the affects that career and technical education has on high school
students. It measures both completion rates and earnings after graduation. The data shows that
schools that enroll students in “vocational programs” have higher attendance and completion
rates. It also found that offering vocational programs does not affect college attendance rates.
Students who were enrolled in these programs earned 12% more one year after graduating and
8% more seven years after graduating. These rates applied for both students who did attend
college and those that did not.
