More than a Book on the Shelf: Diversity in an Early Childhood Classroom

Every child deserves to feel heard, welcomed and seen; this starts in our environments. Representation is everything for children. Although we can’t control every form of media they consume, we can control one thing - the books they read in our classrooms. Diversity in early childhood environments is needed more than ever in our field. This webinar goes beyond diversity in literature and will show you that promoting diversity in your classroom is more than just a book on the shelf. You will gain information on understanding diversity in a new way and learn how to promote true diversity in your classroom. This webinar has information and engaging content that will prepare you to create a more diverse learning environment. We will cover: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Early Childhood

  • Anti-bias education
  • Our duty as educators
  • Breakdown of diversity
  • What diversity means in early education
  • Effective steps for creating a more diverse classroom
