Reflecting on My Anti-Bias Learning

This course on how to build an inclusive, anti-bias learning environment that is developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate has been enriching. As an early childhood professional my hope is to build on the strategies and techniques that I learnt to help develop children’s strengths, capacities and skills needed to take step in the direction of what is right and stand up for what is fair I would not have been able to gain the insight and knowledge that I did without the collaborative support of my colleagues. I like to take this moment to thank each of my colleagues for the all the help, advice and ideas extended towards me.    

Addressing something that hurts children is a proud and fulfilling moment. I continue to need your support in my anti- bias journey. I need allies to cheer me during my success, and stand by me during my failures. As I move forward in my professional goal of doing anti-bias work in early childhood classrooms, I request my colleagues to continue to be the allies I can talk to and the circle of groups I can come to. I wish you all the best in your role as the diversity/equity educator and wish that through our collaborative efforts we can together build a world in which children feel safe, supported and loved.
