• Anti-Bias Curriculum Training

2 year professional development for educators to cultivate a classroom culture and climate based on anti-bias principles and teach related instructional content. Staff met twice a month in peer groups to explore anti-bias concepts related to cultural and racial identity, class, family structure and ability. Teachers then applied the concepts in their classrooms and brought their experiences back to the group for discussion and feedback. The goal of this training was to provide teachers with the tools to move beyond surface-level awareness in their teaching, such as appreciating foods and other cultural artifacts, and toward true anti-bias “literacy”— cultural competency and social justice mindsets that can be applied to any cultural context.
