The Personal Side of Bias, Prejudice, and Oppression



When working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds, I hope to lead by example by walking the walk and talking the talk with an open heart and open mind.
 Building connections with children and their families is an essential foundation for a safe, healthy, supportive school family. 



I challenge all early childhood educators to incorporate cultural awareness curriculum as you develop and nurture an inclusive early childhood classroom. 
Remember to always use person-first language!



Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for diversity.  
Like children, we learn best from our peers!

  2. Donna,

    Thank you for sharing your insights and personal stories. They were enlightening and I learned a lot from them. Thank you for your feedback as well.
    Being a mentor with an open heart and open mind can serve children and their families well. I believe that when they feel supported and safe, they are more comfortable sharing their stories and cultures with others.

    Best of luck to you!
