Publication: Starting Small: Teaching Tolerance in Preschool and the Early Grades

• Teaching Tolerance

LCCN: 97-60329

The vision of community that the early childhood classroom
provides can color children's ideas and expectations about
equity, cooperation and citizenship for a lifetime.

Each of the seven chapters in this book centers on a real
classroom community. These stories describe in detail the
rich variety of "teachable moments" that arise daily in the
early childhood classroom around issues of equity, respect
and tolerance. We hope that reading about other teachers'
effective responses, as well as their ongoing challenges
and frustrations, will help you and your colleagues sharpen
your own strategies for community-building.
