Description

Research shows that young children can recognize differences in people’s appearance, and may exhibit early social biases. Some children show preferences based on these observations, and many encounter stereotypes and their negative impacts early on.

Addressing these issues in education is essential for creating inclusive and culturally aware classrooms. Teachers with high self-efficacy - a belief in their capability to reach teaching goals - play a critical role. By reflecting on their own cultural backgrounds, teachers can better understand students, fostering empathy and openness.

Training in cultural competence is crucial to meet the diverse needs of students, as effective multicultural education prepares students for a diverse world, building motivation, celebrating unique perspectives, and creating a supportive learning environment. Together, we can build a world where every child feels seen and valued. Real change in the classroom starts with us.

An important book for teachers and educators at all levels, in practice and in training, and for educational researchers and theorists.
