The Social Justice Standards from Learning for Justice are a proven framework for developing anti-bias in students. In Respecting Diversity, students learn to engage and create relationships with those who both look similar to and different from themselves. Readers will see the domain of diversity in action and learn best practices as they interact with others--and themselves. Engaging inquiry-based sidebars encourage students to think, create, guess, and ask questions around the content. Books include table of contents, glossary, index, author biography, and sidebars.
