Today our society is very progressive and gender roles are being redefined every day.  We live in a time where voices are making an impact on how society seesgender, sex, culture, class, color, and so on.  Over the past year alone we have been in a historical movement with BLM, Pride, AANHPI, women’s rights, and others I am sure I missed.  This has been a year of change and with that comes a wave of needs that we as educators have to be aware of.  For this writing, you will be exploring gender equity in the classroom.  In chapter 12 of the Berns text, you will read and explore the social and behavioral outcomes that are influenced by us, peers, family and community.  In your writing explain how we as teachers of young children can create an environment, curriculum, and culture in our class that provides gender equality for all.  What would your class look, feel, and be like if I were to enter it as a new parent leaving my child for the first day of their childcare needs.
