Diversity in the Classroom: New Approaches to the Education of Young Children (Early Childhood Education Series (Teachers College Pr))

This new edition builds on the theories presented in the first edition, now incorporating the perspectives of Michael Cole, Howard Gardner, Lev Vygotsky, Sonia Nieto, Lisa Delpit, and Jamie Wurzel. Frances Kendall addresses many aspects of antibias education -- from the stages of child development to strategies for educating parents -- focusing particularly on the teacher's role as an agent of change. Two appendixes provide bibliographies of books to increase awareness in both adults and children.
