The materials and resources that you use in your classroom play a key role in supporting how children learn, form concepts, and build new ideas. As you choose the materials and resources you will display in your classroom or use in activities, begin by considering what is culturally relevant to the children you serve and what is developmentally appropriate. Teachers need to give careful attention to the pictures, objects, books, music, or other classroom resources that could communicate biased or inaccurate ideas about specific cultural groups. As you view the clip, notice how the materials around the room help support the child who is an English language learner.
