    Diversity: Diversity and Conflict Management
    The only "how to" video of the series, this video lays out a process or structure for ways to open up communications between parents, teachers, and caregivers and to discover mutual understanding and respect. The conflict management process shown is called RERUN (Reflect, Explain, Reason, Understand, Negotiate). Available in DVD and VHS formats.



    Diversity: Diversity, Independence and Individuality
    Focusing on diverse reactions to scenes of children learning to be independent, this video shows how valuing independence and individuality define teaching approaches as well as feeding, toileting, and napping practices. Examples are not necessarily how "things should be done," but were chosen for their potential to stimulate open discussion about important caregiving issues. Available in DVD and VHS formats.



    Diversity: Contrasting Perspectives
    Designed to spark dialogue, this video depicts variations on themes of independence, interdependence, and individuality in the delicate issues involved in day-to-day caregiving. What we believe about the best learning environment depends on our experience and our understanding of what children need. For some, early independence is a primary value. Available in DVD and VHS formats.


    Diversity: Diversity and Communication
    Role-playing conflicts between parents and early childhood professionals prepare teachers for today's diverse world. Highlighting communication blocks and pointing out ways of creating connection, this video shows sample areas of disagreement (mostly around neatness/messiness and toileting) and shows people learning to understand and respect diversity. Available in DVD and VHS formats.


    Diversity: The Series
    This series offers a new way to help people in child care integrate culturally responsive caregiving with developmentally appropriate practices. Available in DVD and VHS formats.


    Developing Cross-Cultural Competence
    This book explores cultural, ethnic, and language diversity in human services. It is designed for professionals, administrators, and paraprofessionals who work with families whose children may have or be at risk of having a disability or chronic illness.


    Valuing Diversity: Multi-Cultural Communication
    This video shows how to overcome communication barriers, how to interact and deal with people who speak with an accent, how to recognize differences in body language, and how to remove barriers we build against those with physical and mental disabilities.Includes: VHS or DVD format


    The Unbiased Mind
    The video examines four thinking traps that prevent critical thinking: Stereotypes, Problems with Cause and Effect, Seeing Only What We Expect to See, and The Inner Self. Includes: VHS


    Communicating Between Cultures
    This video uses dramatizations to explore barriers to communication between different cultures in the same country. Guidelines are suggested to support multicultural communication and avoid misunderstanding. Includes: VHS or DVD
