The purpose of the research. The article raises the problem of professional preparation of future educators in the United States and Canada for work in a multicultural educational environment. Research methodology is based on the use of comparative and analytical methods while studying the works of American and Canadian scholars dealing with issues of ethnocultural diversity of the educational environment of modern educational institutions and attempts to resolve them from the standpoint of a tolerant attitude in working with multiethnic and multicultural students. Scientific novelty lies in the analysis of conceptual and empirical studies of American and Canadian authors, which until now have not been highlighted in the Ukrainian press. Conclusions. The research shows that teacher training programs at US colleges and universities, the curriculums and the policies of educational institutions have been revised to focus on the diversity of the ethnic composition of students and teachers, and that they reflect the main requirements to the goals and objectives of multicultural education.
