EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION NEW!
Valerie Pang’s Diversity and Equity in the Classroom bridges theory and practice using a student-centered and culture-centered approach based on a philosophy of social justice and equal outcomes for all. Students will learn why they should think about and value student culture as well as how to weave those values into the curriculum and classroom. Organized around social characteristics in response to the reality of people’s multiple identities, the text emphasizes the intersectionality of diverse identities and promotes teachers’ self-reflection of their own biases. Guided by social constructivism as the cognitive foundation for learning, the text’s extensive strategies and methods help teachers learn how to address prejudice and integrate culturally relevant teaching in their curriculum and classroom instruction. Checklists, teaching tips, and tools for classroom use are highlighted throughout the text and it is supported by MindTap Education, an online learning platform with an ePortfolio and interactive content that helps to prepare classroom-ready reflective teachers.

O This text is organized around social characteristics in response to the reality of individuals’ multiple identities and the difficulty teachers have in reaching all students in their diverse classrooms. It brings together the most up-to-date information about social characteristics such as race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disabilities/exceptionalities, age, and religion – key areas about which teachers need extensive knowledge so that they can work effectively with all learners. O Intersectionality is discussed throughout the text and also highlighted in a section that appears before every chapter’s summary. This section supports a main theme of the chapter as it relates to intersectionality, helping future educators understand that students are members of a variety of cultural groups and that they are much more than their race and/or ethnicity.
