This session presents findings and poses questions from a semester-long qualitative case study of an online multicultural methods course in secondary education. As traditional on-ground teacher education programs moved their courses on multicultural education to online platforms in light of the global health pandemic in the spring of 2020 questions focused on how to support teaching for diversity and equity literacy (Gorski & Swalwell, 2015) in virtual spaces became more pressing. While online teacher education programs are not new many teacher educators needed to pivot and attempt to teach multicultural content they were accustomed to doing in-person into a virtual format (Mutton, 2020). The goal of this emerging study is to understand how asynchronous components of teaching an online course in multicultural methods in secondary education contribute to the development of equity literacy (Gorski, 2016) and understanding of opportunity gaps for diverse learners (Milner, 2020).
