Anti-Bias Education:
- An anti-bias approach to early childhood teaching and learning is providing an educational environment that encourages and accepts diversity, different values, principles, and beliefs equally. Educators are responsible for teaching children that they are all unique individuals who deserve to be mutually respected and accepted using the four anti-bias education goals which are identity, diversity, justice, and activism (Derman-Sparks et al., 2020).
- In a developmentally appropriate early childhood classroom, how do these theories interact? Show how teachers can use the anti-bias framework in combination with 2 other theories in classroom activities.
- Teachers can include a library of diverse books with characters that look like or represent the children in the classroom and situations that they can relate to. These books will be able to help children identify their race, family dynamic, culture, home language, etc.
Another resource teachers can include is manipulatives. Manipulatives will allow children to be exposed to and play with toys with many differences such as disabilities, occupations, and skin colors.
- Why should early childhood teachers take this approach to educating young children? Explain the benefits and impact that your philosophy will have for your future students. Include 1 photo/video that illustrates this.

Thus far, we have studied some foundational principles of anti-bias learning in Early Childhood Education coupled with other theories about early teaching and learning: ecological systems theory, anti-bias education, place-based, play-based, and inquiry-based learning. Your understanding of these theories will be essential to designing and implementing high quality, anti-bias learning experiences for young children that are engaging and developmentally appropriate. This project will support you in synthesizing what you have learned during the first module so that you can put these theories into practice throughout the rest of our course.
- Prompts: Address all of four these prompts. Make connections to a minimum of 3 course readings in your explanations to show how you are using the theory to inform your approach to teaching. Address the prompts:
- Your understanding of the following 5theories: anti-bias education, ecological systems theory, place-based learning, play-based learning, and inquiry-based learning.
- In a developmentally appropriate early childhood classroom, how do these theories interact? Show how teachers can use the anti-bias framework in combination with2 other theories in classroom activities.
- Avoid common missteps of anti-bias education: tourist curriculum, token materials, and misrepresentation (see p. 42).
- Identify 2 resources that teachers can include in their classrooms that will promote anti-bias education. Resources do not need to be commercial – they can also come from the community!
- Why should early childhood teachers take this approach to educating young children? Explain the benefits and impact that your philosophy will have for your future students. Include 1 photo/video that illustrates this.
