• Identifying and reflecting on their own implicit bias

• Creating an inclusive and welcoming community culture where staff and families feel belonging

Participants will reflect on their own learning contexts and strengthen their toolbox for building meaningful and lasting relationships.

We will examine supports for providers and parents in understanding how our work and interactions with children are impacted by the existence of bias.

Description coming soon!

Join the Threads of Justice Collective in examining how the Pyramid Model is intertwined with inclusion. Together we will compare the Pyramid Model to Derman-Sparks, Edwards, and Goin's goals of anti-bias education and examine how both are examples of inclusionary practices. Participants will reflect on their own identities and relationships with learning, anti-bias practice in their contexts, and create an action plan to implement their learning.
