Become a skilled anti-bias teacher with this volume's practical guidance to confronting and eliminating barriers of prejudice, misinformation, and bias about specific aspects of personal and social identity; most importantly, find tips for helping staff and children respect each other, themselves, and all people.

Based on the authors' own classroom experience, this text offers a guide to the development of anti-racist identity, awareness and behaviour. It integrates methodology and course descriptions with student writings and analyses of students' growth, highlighting teaching and learning interaction.

Bringing this bestselling guide completely up-to-date, the authors address the current state of racism and anti-racism in the United States (including the election of the first African-American president); review recent child development research; discuss state standards and NCLB pressures on early childhood teaching; and more. The text includes teaching strategies, activities for families and staff, reflection questions, and updated organizational and website resources.
