A World of Difference: Readings on Teaching Young Children in a Diverse Society |

How do we work with young children and their families in ways that are truly responsive to their differences and effective in combating bias?

School Readiness and Social-Emotional Development: Perspectives on Cultural Diversity |
Description:
“Strong social-emotional development underlies all later social, emotional, and academic success.” But among the 20–50 percent of children who enter kindergarten not ready to learn, social-emotional development is often where they are least prepared. This collection of seven commissioned papers summarizes an NBCDI study of the current state of research and programs addressing preschoolers' social-emotional development, looking at issues from a multicultural perspective. It identifies practical tools and strategies, as well as research, mental health screening, and community partnership models, that readers can use as resources for new research and program development. From the National Black Child Development Institute.

Practice in Building Bridges: Companion Resource for Diversity in Early Care and Education (5th ed.) |
Description:
In our increasingly diverse society, we all need to be able to create authentic, healthy, equitable relationships with people unlike ourselves, whether our colleagues, coworkers, fellow students, or families of young children. With that goal in mind, this collection of activities, discussion topics, and ideas for journaling is designed as a companion resource for those using Janet Gonzalez-Mena's excellent book Diversity in Early Care and Education, 5th ed. (McGraw-Hill, 2008).
Practice in Building Bridges is available individually and in a set with the Special NAEYC Edition of Diversity in Early Care and Education, 5th ed. in which Gonzalez-Mena addresses the subject of teaching children about diversity, equity, and social justice using a "sideways" approach that focuses on the attitutes and behavior of the teacher, rather than the children.
