This study examines how a practice-based unit informs undergraduates' understandings of the dynamics of teaching and learning in a multicultural society, and how these intersect with equity in U.S. classrooms. Citizens' nuanced understanding of the processes of teaching and learning, as well as their understanding of who schools have served, and how, is increasingly important for their engagement with U.S. schools, especially given transformative economic and demographic changes in the United States.Information about teachers and the K-12 student population in the United States highlights a growing demographic mismatch between U.S. students and teachers: Students of color will soon outnumber White students (Bureau, 2004; National Center for Education Statistics, 2015), but the demographic distribution of both U.S. teachers and teacher candidates remains largely unchanged, with the large majority of teachers being White, middle-class women (Feistritzer, 2011;Juárez & Hayes, 2015;Ludwig, Kirshstein, Sidana, Ardila-Rey, & Bae, 2010). This lack of diversity within the teaching force-where "the future teachers are White, the teacher educators are White, the teachers are White" (Juárez & Hayes, 2015, p. 321)-contrasts with the growing diversity in the population of children enrolled in schools.
