Abstract
Race and racism continue to be a social justice issue in education. This issue is multifaceted however; the current research focuses on preservice teachers. Educators need to be equipped with the pedagogical tools, mindset, and awareness to be able to effectively teach students. This research looks at how preservice teachers understand Culturally Responsive Teaching from their own perspective. This Literature is heavily situated in historical and modern day racism and discrimination in education. This displays the reason why it is important for preservice teachers to understand culturally responsive teaching. Through conducting semistructures interviews with preservice teachers 3 themes emerged. Preservice teachers construct their understandings of Culturally Responsive Teaching through, their identities, histories, and direct experiences.
