But many educators wonder where to begin, and how to grow our own confidence in facilitating Anti-Bias education. By promoting Anti-Bias Education in our classrooms and schools, we foster social learning for children, and bring focus to our own awareness of equity issues. Target Audience: Program Supervisors, Mentor Teachers, Educators, Subs / Floaters / Teaching Assistants, Education / Curriculum Director, College Level Students Supporting Well-Being and Belonging through Anti-Bias EducationĪs educators, we all want to support children’s healthy social-emotional development and help them to become competent citizens in our diverse world. Together, we’ll dialogue, explore, question, reflect, and grow in our understanding of how white culture undermines our work in achieving liberation for the next generation of artists, inventors, scientists, politicians, thinkers, and social activists. Come spend 2-3 hours reflecting on our own biases so we can teach anti-bias. Given that educators have a great impact on both families and the children they work with, it is critical for educators to develop a self-awareness of culture, bias, and discriminatory practices as well as to examine the effects of their beliefs, attitudes, and expectations. This facilitated session is for people interested in moving past teaching political correctness towards teaching socio-cognitive conflict and intellectual growth.

To adapt to the constantly changing and complex political and social realities of 2020, ECE leaders need to integrate learning from their experience back into their practice and be able to fine-tune the assumptions and theories that drive their work.

Target Audience: Program Supervisors, Mentor Teachers, Educators, Subs / Floaters / Teaching Assistants, Education / Curriculum Director, College Level Students Reflective Leading During COVID-19 Together, participants will consider opportunities for aligning Emergent Curriculum with key principles such as Pedagogy of Listening, Critical Reflection, Collaborative Dialogue, and Pedagogical Narration. We’ll also consider ways to invite and encourage families to become meaningfully engaged in our programs and look at possible models for partnering with families in curriculum planning, documentation, and assessment, to help connect families to their children’s learning, throughout the school year. We’ll examine some of the practices in use at Hilltop Children’s Center, in Seattle, and explore strategies for facilitating an emergent curriculum in participants’ own classrooms and schools. This session will offer specific examples of structures and dispositions that support a dynamic, responsive, customized curriculum for young children. Though we don’t usually think of “planning” something “emergent,” in fact it takes a great deal of intention to facilitate a curriculum that is flexibly generated from the children’s own questions and pursuits.
