Over the past 8 weeks, I have continued to learn about anti-bias education and its importance in early childhood education. I have experience volunteering and working in many child care centers across my home state of North Carolina and can tell you that from experience, anti-bias education is not something that is practiced everywhere. It is my hope that through advocacy, we can get an anti-bias curriculum in every child care center and preschool not only in North Carolina, but across the country. Anti-bias education is so important to the positive self image and development of our children; our future.
I would thank to thank everyone for taking the time to read and comment on my blog week after week. I learn not only from my instructors and research, but through my interactions with each of you. Thank you and I wish you all well on your journeys.
You are right Cassie! It is not practiced everywhere and it is very upsetting that some children are still being excluded due to their cultural beliefs. I believe it is time for us push for more anti-bias education characteristics in schools.
ReplyDeleteCassie, I have enjoyed reading your blogs and my other classmates. What is say is so true, anti-bias education is not practiced everywhere, but hopefully with hard work from dedicated people like you and me it will one day be achieved.
ReplyDeleteCassie I truly like you goal for the anti-bias work. It is a global need, every child and family deserves to respected, valued and supported, just the way they are. Thank you so much for being a part to my professional successes.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cassie,
ReplyDeleteI would also like to see more anti-bias curriculum here in Hawaii. Even paradise has it's limitations when it comes to fairness for all children. I really enjoyed having you in class and wish you the best. Mahalo
