Week 2 Discussion #3
What Are Your Thoughts on the Anti-Bias Classroom?
After reading the previous article on selecting children’s books, and the information on what to look for in the learning environment, please post your response to the following prompts and engage in discussion with your learning peers.
- Have you visited or observed a preschool classroom?
NOTE: The question above is particularly important for your instructor as I assume some basic understanding of preschool classrooms that not all of you may have. If there are students without this experience we may need to backtrack and have a refresher on learning centers and basic preschool classroom design.
- If you are teaching or working in a preschool, have you seen multicultural materials in the classroom?
NOTE: It is actually not common to find a preschool classroom that meets the criteria of an Anti-Bias classroom. Another thing to consider is intentionality—has the classroom been intentionally and thoughtfully designed with an Anti-Bias perspective or are the few multicultural materials accidentally or haphazardly included.
- What are your initial thoughts about choosing materials, and props with an Anti-Bias mindset?
Typically this class has many weeks to build up to the discussion of how to design an Anti-Bias classroom, but we have so little time during intersession that we are jumping ahead before you may fully understand the rationale for Anti-Bias work with children.
- What concerns do you have about Anti-Bias teaching for preschool children?
