Anti-Bias Education (ABE) is a way to teach that supports children’s ability to actively resist prejudice, discrimination, and bias against all types of diversity.
Educators intentionally support children to:
- Develop a positive sense of identity in a diverse society
- Respect a range of human differences
- Recognize unfairness and the feelings it causes
- Speak up for the rights of others
This day of learning aims to:
- Inspire ongoing journeys as Anti-Bias Educators
- Support new insights into what ABE can look like in action
- Awaken a desire to engage in ongoing reflection and learning on the topic
WHY NOW? WHY US?
Rabbi Hillel said, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?” – Pirkei Avot 1:14
This is the 2nd year of our community focus on ABE. As ECE educators, we hope to lay a foundation for a more just and equitable society and support young children
to become contributing citizens to that vision.
This year’s focus is on what Anti-Bias Education can look like IN ACTION.
This is complex work, and Rabbi Hillel’s teaching reminds us of our responsibility to all four goals of Anti-Bias Education:
Identity • Diversity • Justice • Activism
