Racial Learning Development for Young Children

Do young kids really notice race? They do, much earlier than most adults expect. In this class you will dig into what the research says about how babies through kindergartners learn race, pick up age-appropriate ways to nurture an anti-racist home or classroom, and practice the actual words to use with a small child.
