Anti-Bias Education for Young Children and Ourselves by Louise Derman- Sparks and Julie Olsen Edwards. 1. I remember playing outside with my friends and siblings, going to school, and learning new things, and spending time with my family. I learned that school was a place to learn and make friends, and family was a place to feel safe and loved. I learned that teachers were authority figures who were in charge of teaching us and making sure we followed the rules. Yes, I was taught that the teacher was always right, and we were expected to listen and respect them. Yes, I would talk to my family about problems at school and they would offer advice and support. 2. I still agree that we are expected to listen and to follow the rules at school, but I don’t think the teachers are always right because looking back school life, I had a couple of teachers that told me the wrong thing when I was in school. 3. High quality supportive environments. Create an environment where the parents and the children feel welcome all the time. It could be with family pictures or items from home. Also, a Box over the desktop for questions or comments from parents to staff. Communication is the basis of the relationship between parents, children, and teachers. I help parents and children to adapt to the rules and routines of the classroom speaking with the parents that you as a teacher expect their support and participation in the education of their children. All the children and parents are equally important not to make preferences. All human beings are perceptive, and they may notice when the teacher makes favoritism. Never ignore a child or parent that is trying to say something to you, remember that we learn from each other. 4. Using assertive communication with the parents. This means always speaking the truth but in a polite way. For example, if a child is new in the day care and the parents are concerned about it, explain to them that the first few days of school would be difficult for some children but when children understand the routine of the classroom, they feel more confident to attend. Implement different methods of communication with parents is having a new letter every week. Even e-mails or text messages to parents. Whatever you think is most convenient to establish communication with the parents. When parent's drop-off and when also pick up the children those are good moments for engaging in conversation with parents and sharing information about the child. 5. The best hope for a teacher-family relationship is to have a foundation of respect and open communication. When teachers and families respect each other, it creates a positive and supportive environment for the child. This means that teachers value and appreciate the unique perspectives and knowledge that families bring to their child’s education. Additionally, open communication between teachers and families allows for a better understanding of the child’s needs, strengths, and challenges. It also enables both parties to work together in addressing any concerns or issues that may arise. Ultimately, when there is a strong teacher-family

relationship, I can lead to better academic and social outcomes for the child. 6. I believe my family was significantly different in a world that wants to hide their sing. We believe that you are to keep silent and show people who they want to see and not who you really are. As for my family, we believe in mistakes and forgiveness. We don’t hind behind closed doors, we as a family are apart from the world’s opinion of how to live. I personally feel grateful for my spiritual upbringing and it’s a big part of who I am as a wife and mother. 7. In sociology, culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, and practices that a group of people holds. When a teacher’s family culture aligns closely with those of their students, it can foster understanding, empathy, and stronger relationships. The teacher may have a better grasp of the students’ backgrounds, challenges, and perspectives, which can enhance their teaching strategies and communication. On the other hand, if a teacher’s family culture is significantly different from their students’, it may create challenges. Misunderstandings can arise due to different cultural norms or expectations. However, this can also be an opportunity for both the teacher and the students to learn from each other and broaden their cultural understanding. In both scenarios, it’s crucial for the teacher to acknowledge and respect the diversity of family cultures in their classroom and strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment. This is a key aspect of anti-bias education, which aims to challenge prejudice and promote equality and justice.
