An Inclusive, Anti-Bias Framework for Teaching and Learning about Race with Young Children
Beneke, Margaret R.; Park, Caryn C.; Taitingfong, Jordan
Young Exceptional Children, v22 n2 p74-86 Jun 2019
While early childhood (EC) and early childhood special education (ECSE) educators may recognize young children are grappling with ideas about racial identity and fairness, they may feel unsure of how to respond, may be hesitant about what is appropriate to introduce, may question their own competence in facilitating racial dialogue, and/or may express concern about supporting curriculum that is accessible to all children. In this article, the authors describe an inclusive, anti-bias approach for teaching and learning about race in EC/ECSE. To this end, they (a) discuss the importance of addressing race in EC/ECSE classrooms; (b) introduce an inclusive, anti-bias framework for teaching and learning about race in EC/ECSE; and (c) use an example from practice to illustrate and unpack each component of the framework.
