Modeling Inclusive Behavior RSVP

This workshop created for families, aims to create a positive and supportive learning environment where the art of dialog guides challenging conversations around issues of social equity, inclusion and the important work of Anti-Bias Education with children and families. Through the sharing of our own stories and a deeper reflection on personal bias, we will gain insights that will allow us to better understand today’s current dialog, language and events many of us struggle to negotiate with young children. Participants will focus on building literacy around power and privilege, emergent social identities, allied behavior and practice strong dialog principles to better model for our children empathy and respect for all people.
