There are Four Main Goals of Anti-bias Education
In Chapter 1 of Anti-Bias Education for Young Children and Ourselves, you were introduced to the Four Goals of Anti-Bias Education. This week please explain what you will do to help children achieve these four goals in your own classrooms. Imagine you are teaching if you are not at this time.
Goal #1- Each child will demonstrate self-awareness, confidence, family pride and positive social identities.
How will you achieve this goal in your classroom, or future classroom?
Goal #2-Each child will express comfort and joy with human diversity, accurate language for human differences and deep caring human connections.
How will you achieve this goal in your classroom, or future classroom?
Goal #3-Each child will increasingly recognize unfairness, have language to describe unfairness, and understand that unfairness hurts.
How will you achieve this goal in your classroom, or future classroom?
Goal #4-Each child will demonstrate empowerment and the skills to act, with others or alone, against prejudice and /or discriminatory actions.
How will you achieve this goal in your classroom, or future classroom?

example 1
Goal #1: To help children develop self-awareness, confidence, family pride and positive social identities, I will encourage children to share what they know about their cultures, and traditions in group activities. I would include books, materials and toys that reflect different cultures, family structures, and disabilities so children can see themselves and others possibly in their family represented in the classroom.
Goal #2: I liked the mirror activity in one of our class videos, so I would incorporate that activity in my classroom so children could visibly see themselves as to others around them. I would encourage children to appreciate diversity by having open conversations about similarities and differences and we will have story time that celebrate different cultures, and identities.
Goal #3: Firstly, I will make sure I am leading by example. If I find something unfair or someone hurts my feeling, I would pull the child to the side and have a clear conversation with them about the situation. I will help the children recognize unfairness by discussing situations where someone is treated differently or unfairly. I would guide children to talk about how it might make someone feel and why fairness, kindness, and positivity is important. You treat others how you want to be treated.
Goal #4: Encouraging children to respect, speak up and support one another would be my first important lesson. “if you see something, say something.” I would help the class practice ways to stand up for each other and promote kindness and respect, such as role playing or story telling. If a child is feeling excluded or treated unfairly, we must approach the child with kindness and ask if the friend would like to join or apologize for what happened and ask the join if they want to join in the play.
Example 2
Goal #1: To help each child develop self-awareness, confidence, and pride in their families and identity, I will create an environment where every child and their family feel valued and respected. My classroom will include materials that reflect the diversity inside our classroom and around us. I will include crayons, books, pictures, and dolls that represent each family and culture. I will encourage families to come and share their cultural traditions, share pictures so children can see that all families look different, making them unique and special.
Goal #2: To support children in feeling comfortable with diversity, I will include stories that show different languages, cultures, and backgrounds. These books will help children learn that everyone is different and they should be proud of who they are. I will also teach simple songs from various languages, and encourage children to participate, allowing them to learn about different cultures and develop an appreciation for diversity. I will encourage children to ask questions and learn about others. Using classroom materials, books, and music will allow children to build strong connections with others.
Goal #3: I will help children recognize unfairness by discussing situations and stories where someone is being treated unfairly. To demonstrate these scenarios, I will use puppets and dolls so children can better understand. This will help children think about others’ feelings. I will also encourage children to talk about their own feelings. These discussion will help children understand the importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect, while emphasizing the importance of modeling fairness.
Goal #4: To achieve this goal I will teach children to always support one another. Respect will be an important value in our class. I will create activities where children can practice role-playing different situations and have students think and reflect on how they can stand up for themselves or others. I will guide children to use kind words. By practicing these skills, children will learn to be kind and accepting of others and their cultures.
