In all, I think that I have arrived at more questions than conclusioDB," Sleeter modestly states. Sleeter explains that her special contribution to research is an emphasis on syntheSIS. Issues of anthropology, sociology, cultural studies and curriculum studies come together in her work. "I also get interested in ethnograph;y as a research method," she says. All ,f this becomes a part of her m ,st important interest: the tes ,bing of teachers. "Hew do you get institutions to oJ- .ange in a way that moves toy. ard greater equality, when fr... structures of those j ;lStitutions perpetuate inequality?" Sleeter asks. We start by looking at teachers, she says. "How will they start doing things differently?" If, after teaching our teachers "there is no real change, yo;" must ask wh;y, and ask where do you go with that." Sleeter emphasizes a dual approach to change. She looks both at working with individual teachers and at implementing structural changes. She reports a keen interest in political organizing . When asksd whether thers is a real problem with multicultural education in our public schools, Sleeter says that you nsed only look at the racial composition of Parkside as compared to the surrounding communities to recognize a disproportionate situation. "A dispropor- tionately high percentage of white students end up in the college track courses in our public schools." Sleeter is proactive in her approach, emphasizing factors that we can do something about. She speaks of testing, teaching styles and the attitudes ofteachera. She speaks of turning 10w achieving kids' into 'high achievers.' She tries to teach her teachers that this "sometimes involves dramatic chengs from the way things were done while you were in school." Sleeter believes that teachers can get kids excited and thet the kids will then learn. "I try to teach my teachers to figure out what gets the kids excited," she says. Slseter also speaks fondly of the work she has done with assistant professors that she has met at various conferences, often women of color, assisting them in developing their own research and writing skills so as to publish more successfully. "I try to seek people out and give them academic help and mentoring ... I guess I see myself as giving back to them what was given to me, academ- ically," she quietly explains. Slseter says that she will bank the small cash amount awarded her and use it to buy a new computer. "There was no question for the committee who the recipisnt ofthis year'a award would be, when Christins's credentials were brought to us ...
