Watch Ron Grady’s seminars on embracing identities and join other ECEs to discuss creating an anti-bias practice where all children belong.
 

Facilitated by Ron Grady, hosted by Olha Khaperska (EYCDC).

IMPORTANT: Please make sure you watched the Embracing Identities Seminars. It is available on our on-demand PD platform with a 30-day free trial period.

We will structure our online discussion around the learning outcomes of the seminar:

• Reflect on our own identities and cultural lenses
• Describe the four pillars of anti-bias education.
• Discuss ways to identify and affirm children’s identities through the materials and social climate of the classroom.
• Identify three ways that educators can create a classroom environment that supports positive identity development.
• Recognize characteristics of picture books that provide children with windows and mirrors for exploring identity and intersectionality.
• Consider how classroom materials can support ongoing inquiry into identities, relationships, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Recognize that diverse materials are not enough and recognize the critical role classroom discussion and inquiry play in anti-bias education.
• Propose ways to support children in forming peer relationships that value inclusion.
• Identify principles and lenses that can be incorporated to further anti-bias practice.
• Value the use of connecting rituals and routines in supporting children throughout the day.
