In sum, because of the great disparity between theory presented in the context of a college environment and practical teaching realities in educational practices of classroom setting, it is essential that a portion of every teacher’s training experience include on-site supervised teaching experience in a bicultural program. To the extent possible, relevant competencies should be demonstrated in the direct context of such a classroom setting.
