Description / Comments:
COMPLETE TEXT AND VIDEO PACKAGE.
The vision of community that the early childhood classroom
provides can color children's ideas and expectations about
equity, cooperation and citizenship for a lifetime.
This package combines video and text to profile innovative
classrooms around the country.
Through lively classroom footage, teacher interviews,
commentary from early childhood specialists and the vivid
voices of children, award-winning filmmaker Margie McGovern
explores five equity education programs from Seattle to New
Haven. The 58-minute video is designed to promote staff
discussion and personal reflection on effective w
ays of fostering respect for differences.
For more in-depth exploration, Starting Small includes a
250-page softcover book. Each of the seven chapters centers
on a real classroom community. These stories describe in
detail the rich variety of "teachable moments" that arise
daily in the early childhood classroom around issues of
equity, respect and tolerance. We hope that reading about
other teachers' effective responses, as well as their
ongoing challenges and frustrations, will help you and your
colleagues sharpen your own strategies for
community-building.
