How can we support children and teachers’ continued growth as kind, caring, compassionate people who work toward equity in this world? In their book, Reflection, Perspective-Taking, and Social Justice: Stories of Empathy and Kindness in the Early Childhood Classroom, educators Makai Kellogg, Magy Youssef, Sabina Zeffler, and mentor Jacky Howell from School for Friends in Washington, DC, share how they nurture and strengthen children’s dispositions for empathy and kindness. Their approach is anchored by Quaker values, the guiding principles of the Black Lives Matter movement, and mindfulness practice, all viewed through a lens of social justice and equity. The authors weave real stories and reflections as they trace the learning journey of children in their program from toddlers through the time they leave for kindergarten. This inspirational book brings readers inside the school to support personal and professional reflections on practices and ways of being with children in this shared journey toward a better world.
