Crosswalks Toolbox

The Crosswalks Toolbox is a comprehensive database of resources - including videos, articles, syllabi and other materials – that focuses on increasing the emphasis on cultural and linguistic diversity in early childhood education and intervention. The database can be searched by title, author, publisher or key word; topic clustered by commonly used early childhood themes; by major national early childhood frameworks (NAEYC Early Childhood Professional Development Standards, DEC Recommended Practices, CEC/DEC Content Standards, National Board of Professional Teaching Standards); by aspect of diversity (e.g., linguistic diversity); by type of instructional tools (e.g., syllabi, activities); and by resource type (e.g., videos, articles). The Crosswalks Toolbox is maintained by the University of North Carolina Child Development Institute.
