Part 1 – Practicing Anti-Bias Education Goals as a family can create an important bridge between inclusion work being done in the Early Childhood classroom and the young child’s experience at home. Out of her extensive experience as an Early Childhood Educator, Parent Educator, and Director of Education and Organizational Culture at Sunbridge Institute, Meggan Gill will help participants in this session understand and integrate Anti-Bias Education principles into home life. The session will include grounded guidance for families as they nurture their children’s capacities to appreciate and celebrate differences and navigate social interactions with friends and classmates.
Part 2 – In the week following the presentation, Aiyana Masla and Masumi Hayashi-Smith of Alma Partners will lead practice sessions for participants to integrate what they have learned with Meggan. In these sessions, participants will have opportunities to connect in small groups, engage in reflective exercises, and collaboratively delve into problems of practice associated with Racial Identity Development and Anti-Bias Education.
