• For more classes visit

• Children and Prejudice. In Vivian Gussin Paleys
  book, You Cant Say, You Cant Play, a
  hierarchy of bosses and outcasts emerges year
  after year in her classroom. What, in your
  experience with children, determines this
  hierarchy and how much of it is due to the
  development of pre-prejudicial behavior in
  children? Provide examples and then consider why
  it is important to address this behavior earlier
  rather than later. Would Vivian Gussins Paleys
  rule have worked in the example you provide? Why
  or why not? Respond to at least two of your
  classmates postings.

• Race Illusion vs. Reality. Review the seven
  propositions including the accompanying videos
  on Understanding the Influence of Race
  (http//www.tolerance.org/tdsi/uir_intro). From
  these links and videos, you will learn that much
  of what we hold to be true about race is a social
  construction, which has little connection to
  human biology. Unfortunately this means children
  of different races may face stereotypes based on
  the way they look or speak. As an early childhood
  educator, you will be in a unique position to
  make an impact on children of all racial
  backgrounds. Refer to the information provided in
  the links as you consider the scenario below
• How would you address a child who seems to
  exhibit prejudice against children of

• For more classes visit

• Cultural Differences. On page 64, your text
  offers a list of 13 childrearing patterns that
  differ between cultures. These can create
  challenges for educators when family structures
  and norms conflict with the assumed norms of the
  school. In the US, these are most often based on
  white, middle-class cultural assumptions. Provide
  an example from your own life or one in the media
  where these values have led to conflict or
  misunderstandings between the school and family.
  How might the educator or school have responded
  in a more culturally sensitive manner? Respond to
  at least two of your classmates postings.

  title and reference page) arguing why you believe
  the movie, television series or product chosen

  population is English speaking, and there is a
  growing a number of English language learners.
  You are assigned to a first-grade classroom where
  60 of children speak English only and the other
  40 speak mostly Spanish with varying levels of
  English. How will you approach and organize this
  classroom? What challenges do English language
  learners face? What challenges will you face? How
  will foster a positive, collaborative classroom
  community despite a language barrier? Respond to

  Communities in Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias
  Education
• For more classes visit
• www.snaptutorial.com
• The Role of Families and Communities in
  Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Education. Often
  school attempts to connect with families fail.
  One reason is that schools assume the role of
  educator and expect families to go out of their
  way to learn how they can help modify family
  patterns to best suit the school environment.
  However, a more effective way to connect to
  families is for teachers to go out into the
  communities they serve and learn more about
  those communities. Based on this idea, describe
  two-to-three specific ways you can become

  curriculum, but still fail to produce a classroom
  where children are fully inclusive of others and
  prejudice-free. What criteria will be most
  important to you as you evaluate your literature
  selections and activities in the classroom for
  multicultural and anti-bias? What behaviors will
  you be looking for in your students that indicate
