Challenging our biases as teachers is an important practice so we can become self aware of the messages we are giving children on a regular basis. What are your biases toward gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity? What kind of literature are you using that portrays certain stereotypes or class structure? AS teachers it is our job to model respect and embrace the differences we encounter in our classrooms and within our communities. The difficulty comes in when our belief systems are challenged by others and what do we say when a child is being bullied or someone is shaming them because of their sexuality, gender or race. I have prepared a free workshop to help you with strategies and ideas to use in your classroom around the concept of anti-bias education.
