Learning How to Teach in an Increasingly Diverse Classroom



Nattress, now 37, has immersed himself in the shifting demographics of Des
Moines since becoming a teacher there in 2012, signing an alternative
contract the city’s public schools had just started offering. It came with
a higher starting salary and the promise of a no-cost master’s degree. In
exchange for the free degree, he had to commit to working for the school
district for eight years or repay the cost of the classes. Last summer,
Drake University in Des Moines announced a partnership with the city’s
public schools. The well-regarded liberal-arts school began offering the
first classes this month toward a reshaped master’s degree that will focus
on “cultural competency” and on instruction for children new to English.
