families. The series will assist educators in confronting racial, linguistic, and
cultural biases in both the school system and in their own teaching styles.
Included are literature reviews of various early childhood topics, guidelines to
help educators assess how their materials and methods reflect recommended
practices and sensitivity to diversity, and much more!
