    Lynne Masel Walters, Barbara Garii et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Intercultural…2009Cited by: 8References: 6

    As the US student population becomes increasingly diverse, teacher education programs need to enable prospective teachers to meet the varied needs and expectations of students and families, while simultaneously creating viable classroom communities.

    This article examines the relationship between public relations practitioner and journalist in the transmission of the language of science to the public.

The findings supp…
