Imagine you have just started teaching in an early childhood facility, and you have been asked to begin the year by communicating with the parents. Briefly describe the ongoing method from the book Anti-Bias Curriculum: Tools for Empowering Young Children that you could use to engage the parents in conversations about anti-bias socialization.
What will be an ideal response?
A series of family meetings can inform and invite discussion about such topics as gender identity and sexism, the creation of nonsexist environments, the development of racial identity and awareness, the creation of antiracist environments, and evaluation of children’s books for sexist and racial stereotypes. Such groups can help parents gain information about the school’s philosophy, help teachers attain insight into family values and attitudes, and provide families with strategies for anti-biased socialization of children.
