This course accompanies the online course Introduction to Anti-Bias Education hosted by Trillium Montessori. It only offers the CEU certificate through Loyola University Maryland and does not contain any course material.
This introductory course by anti-bias/antiracist (ABAR) teacher-educator and Montessorian, Britt Hawthorne, is designed to help educators in developing cultural consciousness and learn to navigate 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, and 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 years old.
