When I think about working with diverse children and families, I hope to protect them from bias an prejudice by creating an anti-bias environment. I hope to learn about various family cultures by involving young children and families in my classroom and using that knowledge to provide an anti-bias education.
My goal for the early childhood field is to affect positive change in relation to diversity and equity by taking a stand on bias and prejudice. I will be able to take a stand on issues of diversity, equity, social justice by increasing my self-awareness of my personal biases, identifying microaggressions when they occur, and by educating my colleagues on ways to promote anti-bias in my school community.
For my classmates- thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in working with young children and families. You have shared some thoughtful insights and have offered innovative solutions for current issues in the field. Good luck with the rest of your classes!
