This training series can be seen as a place to begin dialog and raise individual awareness and understanding around the various types of bias in early learning environments. We all have bias (often hidden from our consciousness) or beliefs we are unaware of. Are you eager to engage in meaningful, but safe, interactions around bias? 

Series topics may include: care-giving (parenting/child rearing, childbirth, and teaching), race, ethnicity, and culture, gender, children's literature, and media. Our aim is to help create an environment for learning and understanding the many aspects of bias. Join us for one or more of this series of four trainings.

If you are a paraeducator, please talk with your district BEFORE registering for a class at the ESD to support the Fundamental Course of Study to ensure that it aligns with your districts plans for training.
