Introduction to Anti-Bias Education

Online Course | Available Now

Trillium Montessori

This introductory course by anti-bias/antiracist (ABAR) teacher-educator and Montessorian, Britt Hawthorne, is designed to help educators take the first steps to developing critical cultural consciousness within their teaching practice and equip them with a common language to assist with navigating discussions around diversity and justice in the classroom.

Participants will leave with an understanding of how children develop racial and ethnic prejudices early in life, how to identify stereotypes, and how to respond to pre-prejudice, along with the tools to combat explicit and implicit biases. Participants will also learn how to create a developmentally appropriate anti-bias environment.

This course consists of 4 hours of pre-recorded videos plus a workbook of activities and reflection to facilitate learning. Best for educators who work with children aged 3-12.
