In his class he implemented this statement through one of our assignments. In a group we were each asked to find a children's book on a different culture. We were then asked to critically analyze that story from a global perspective. This assignment helped me to think about stereotypes and how often they are represented in the stories children read. I was also able to see how simple it is to make sure the books in our future classrooms are accurate. Students can learn from high quality and diverse stories.
