Lin Goodwin Review "By reading this book, in addition to seeing culturally responsive education taking place in classrooms across the country, readers have the opportunity to learn about policies and programs that honor families and communities as experts, adapting common notions of "best" working with the communities to which children belong to rethink and come to a shared ownership of what best truly means. Through the exploration of diverse studies, the editors and authors invite readers to rethink and do diversity in teaching, policy-making, programming, and educating teachers." -- Teachers College Record, June 27, 2008Wilma Robles de Melendez Program Professor of Early Childhood Education, Nova Southeastern University"This book is appropriate at graduate level. Both Master and doctoral level courses in early childhood and multicultural education might use it as a textbook. Several chapters seem to be appropriate for students majoring in special education, reading/literacy and ESOL/bilingual education. Due to the comprehensive nature of the chapters, if I taught courses such as Diversity in Early Childhood I would adapt this book as a supplementary textbook. . . Yes, I feel that this is publishable project. I strongly feel that the need for this project and the significance of the book are well-documented in the overview of the proposal. This book seems to have potentials to help professionals and students develop a better approach toward diversity in the classrooms. Each chapter seems to be built upon sound research and be aligned with the conceptual framework of the book. The illustrations of these various inclusive practices are promising to generate reflection and development of new practices in the readers classrooms."Tunde SzecsiAssociate Professor of Early Childhood Education, Florida Gulf Coast University"This book could be used as part of a graduate course in early childhood education practices and as supplementary reading in education foundation courses. . . This is an anthology which presents a variety of voices around the issue of diversity. The many different perspectives provide valuable angles in the exploration and analysis of diversity in early childhood education. . . Yes, its publishable." Review Quote "Celia Genishi and A. Lin Goodwin have brought together an outstanding community of diverse scholars whose focus on equity in early childhood education is inspiring and stimulating. The authors are passionate about the importance of providing our youngest students with culturally relevant, developmentally appropriate caring education. Children bring to schools multidimensional identities, family histories, immigration issues, and cultural belief systems; we as educators must rethink equity pedagogy to ensure that our youngest learners are actively engaged in and supported by education that reaches out to parents and creates bridges to culturally diverse communities." --Valerie Ooka Pang, Professor of Teacher Education, San Diego State University "Diversities in Early Childhood Education focuses on people who, even though their bodies are small, have souls and spirits and ideas about the world that are important for us to know about. Genishi and Goodwin offer a welcomed departure from those previous conceptions of early childhood that saw children as undeveloped adults who require our interventions to become fully human. This compilation of essays tells stories about the children, their teachers, and their parents that reveal how truly gifted our children are if only we know how to take advantage of all they bring with them to our classrooms." --Richard Ruiz, Professor of Language, Reading, and Culture, College of Education, University of Arizona Details ISBN0415957141 Short Title DIVERSITIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD Series Changing Images of Early Childhood Language English ISBN-10 0415957141 ISBN-13 9780415957144 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 372.21 Year 2007 Imprint Routledge Subtitle Rethinking and Doing Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Edited by Celia Genishi Birth 1944 Edition 1st Author A.
