This training series explores anti-bias education (ABE) with the film Reflecting on Anti-Bias Education in Action: The Early Years (2021, Lee Keenan, D., & Nimmo, J.) as its foundation. Anti-Bias Education builds on the strengths and knowledge children bring to school, and encourages teachers to observe carefully, think critically, and reflect deeply in their programs. The film is organized around the 4 interconnected goals of anti-bias education (Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Action). These goals build on each other and are relevant to all children and adults. Each session in this 4-part study will include viewing a selected section of the film; defining and discussing ABE goals; discussion built from reflection questions. We will also review the recent NAEYC Advancing Equity Position statement, FAQs from the film study guide and participant questions concerning putting this into practice in their own programs.
