Over the last three decades, educators across the nation and around the world have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in anti-bias work. The result is a richer and more nuanced articulation of what is important in anti-bias education. Revolving around four core goals-identity, diversity, justice, and activism-individual chapters focus on culture and language, racial identity, family structures, gender identity, economic class, different abilities, and more.

I remember embracing the original Anti-Bias Curriculum when I was a new Head Start teacher--it shaped and guided my practice for years. I am certain that this new edition will help the next generation of teachers create enriching learning environments that reflect, support, and respect the diverse backgrounds of the young children they serve. --Calvin Moore, President, National Association for Family Child Care The new book integrates our understanding of anti-bias with current research and knowledge, creating a theoretical and practical book for anyone interested in exploring antibias education. Louise and Julie have captured the essence of the original ABC book and expanded it--this volume is a thorough discussion of the issues with thought provoking questions and practical suggestions for anti-bias classrooms! --Christina Lopez Morgan, Chair, Child Development and Education Department, De Anza College How exciting to finally have the anti-bias bible updated! I love the addition of the Voices from the Field segments and the new chapters on economic class differences and family structures. I also greatly appreciate the focus on adult development in this process. This book should be a part of every early childhood professional's library! --Debbie LeeKeenan, Director, Eliot Pearson Children's School, Tufts University Author InformationLouise Derman-Sparks is an internationally respected anti-bias educator and author.
