Abstract: This article delineates how pre-service teachers developed dispositions to working with ethnically and linguistically diverse families through study of ethnography coupled with project-based learning. Students' study of "Con Respeto: Bridging the Distance Between Culturally Diverse Families and Schools" by Guadalupe Valdés facilitated ideological shifts about family-school relationships while putting theory into practice by designing and implementing family outreach. Despite shifting students' ideology, critical questions emerged about who pre-service teachers' learning serves and power structures in teacher education.
