I want to introduce a book that might help teachers who teach young children. The book is called "Anti-Bias Curriculum: Tools for Empowering Young Children." By, Louise Derman-Sparks and the A.B.C. Task Force. The book offers an arry of approaches that deal with an anti-bias curriculum. For example, it explains how to set up an anti-bias environment and how to integrate anti-bias content into daily classroom environments. The book explains about racial differences and similarities; it teaches children about disabilities; it teaches about cultural differences and similarities; it also teaches about gender identity. Very importantly it explains how to resist stereotyping and discriminatory behavior. Lastly, a chapter is devoted to working with parents of different cultures.
