From week 1 to week 7 we have learned ways to address bias in ourselves, students, and their families with respect and acceptance. This collage is an attempt to represent that respect and acceptance. Just to explain:

Self-concept picture- looking to ourselves for hidden bias.

Anti-bias Classroom- teaching anti-bias.



Cinderella-movies can create partiality as those who create story plots from their own bias.

Mom and Dad on cell phone/ monkeys- bias and tolerance both begin with how families teach their children both openly and unknowingly.

Learning styles-not all of us learn the same way and we should not expect that our students will either.

Rabbit’s Wedding- like movies, authors write based on their own bias and these stories can affect those who read them.

Adult and child sketch- trauma not only affects a child’s self-worth, it actually affects their brain development setting up a generational cycle of trauma. We are an option to teach resilience.

  1. Jennifer,
    Great post! You have just summed up the course. Every picture and explanation depicts how bias affects adults,children, and families. It also validates the importance of becoming an anti-bias educator so that biases can be eradicated to allow respect and acceptance to take its place.

  2. Angela,
    I enjoy all your pictures, they say so much about diversity especially the one with the three monkeys. I also like how you give all the definitions about diversity.

  3. Hello Jennifer,
    This post speaks to any and everyone. Keeping in mind the impact and messages sent and received is so important to keep in mind. The picture of the adult and child sends such an important message of being a child's person as an adult. Knowing they can trust those who are suppose to protect them is so important. Thank you for sharing this post.
