In this article, we follow Ms. Mena’s kindergartners’ lead to imagine an approach to early childhood social studies that makes space and time for inquiry into compelling social studies questions.
By leveraging children's natural curiosity, educators can offer a wide range of equity-based opportunities to learn about social studies principles every single day.
Because books are a gateway for children to learn more about themselves and others, it's important to create class libraries that celebrate differences and promote inclusivity.
Author Maria Beteta describes how an innocent question became an opportunity to explore powerful concepts such as identity, culture, self-perception, differences, and similarities that connect us all.
To empower our children to embrace their own identities and the diversity around them, we need to first engage in identity-affirming, self-reflective practices ourselves.
Feelings of being an imposter, along with the delicately woven systems of oppression that exist in schools, often stop educators from sharing their true identities.
The authors in this collection examine their own identities by looking at their histories; reflecting on how their identities that arise from group memberships influence their teaching.
