This article reports on a content analysis of human demographics represented across the picture book collection in one university’s teacher education laboratory. Drawing from an established history of the representation of marginalized groups in children’s literature and prior scholarship on content analyses of similar collections, this study aims to identify gaps in the collection and suggest strategies for improving the collection and approaches to designing lab collections. We used a critical race methodology framework and windows and mirrors pedagogy to identify the limitations of a collection with primarily White titles and the possibilities of demographically diverse titles. The findings and subsequent discussion illustrate how one program’s gaps in resources informed structural and systemic changes within this teacher education program, including purchases in that fiscal year and subsequent years that address demographic gaps. Suggestions for steps to improve picture book collections are provided.

论教师教育计划材料中的窗户和镜子：一本图画书收藏中的人口统计内容分析

本文报告了对一所大学教师教育实验室图画书收藏中的人类人口统计数据的内容分析。本研究借鉴了儿童文学中边缘化群体代表性的既定历史和先前对类似藏品内容分析的研究，旨在确定藏品中的差距，并提出改进藏品的策略和设计实验室藏品的方法。我们使用了一个批判种族方法框架和窗口和镜子教学法来确定主要是白人标题的收藏的局限性以及人口统计学标题的可能性。调查结果和随后的讨论说明了一个计划的资源差距如何影响该教师教育计划中的结构和系统变化，包括在该财政年度和随后几年解决人口差距的采购。提供了改进图画书收藏的步骤建议。
