| B. | Anti-Bias Educational Practices | |
|
Please read the first couple of pages of the article, Critical Practices in Anti-Bias Education. Unlike scores of books on anti-bias education that only address early childhood, this article includes a chart of issues up to grade 12 and I think frames the issues in ways that are appropriate for Menlo..
