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.

Seller's Description:
Good. Book 020516109X Small tear to spine corner. Moisture crinkling to corners of first few pgs. Spine is tight; pgs are unmarked. From the Back Cover: "Educators are becoming increasingly concerned with more areas of discrimination and inequality that affects students. For example, as more immigrant students enter schools, understandings and skills for educating about language discrimination are needed. Similarly, as educators become more aware of the negative consequences of homophobic behavior on students, knowledge and approaches for dealing with homophobia in schools are called for. Open Minds to Equality deals with the expanding range of equity concerns. Membership in the largest association (National Association for Multicultural Educators) is growing by leaps and bounds. State-level associations are being started in these subjects all across the country. While focusing on discrimination based on race, gender, class, and age, the second edition also addresses bias based on religion, mental and physical ability, sexual orientation, and language. It provides educators an inclusive framework for thinking about diversity and responding practically to all these forms of difference in their classrooms. Activities in the book address both content and process. The content broadens the readersŐ awareness of the causes of inequality, particularly how differences are used to justify inequality. It encourages questions and the exploration of many sources of information and various points of view. The process is experiential, participatory, cooperative, and democratic. This book is extremely helpful for teachers, facilitators, staff development programs, and curriculum specialists. It is also appropriate for professionals in educational settings outside of schools such as camps, scouts, church groups, and youth agencies (all of which bought the first edition of this book). A Longwood Professional Book. "
