Open Minds to Equality: A Sourcebook of Learning Activities to Affirm Diversity and Promote Equality - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a practical book for teachers for building multi-cultural, gender-fair classrooms and for teaching students about both discrimination and approaches to equality. Most teachers want to make their classes multicultural and gender-fair, but are seldom supported in the attempt. This book provides a piece of that support. Grounded in theory but fully accessible to teachers, the book's first two chapter's explain the need for equitable classrooms, and the remaining chapters provide activities with full-size worksheets for use with children. This is a “teacher-friendly” book that opens both teachers' and students' eyes, hearts and minds to equality.

Open Minds to Equality enables teachers to understand and see interconnections between a variety of forms of diversity. This book supplies teachers with background information about ways several forms of inequality ― based on race, gender, class, age, language, sexual orientation, religion and physical/mental ability ― are manifested in school and society. It offers questions to help teachers assess their classrooms as to how fair they are for diverse students. Then it provides a well-sequenced series of learning activities to use with students that help them recognize and change these various forms of inequality in their classroom, school and lives beyond school.
