The Personal Side of Bias, Prejudice, and Oppression

One hope that I have when I think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is the hope that they will be treated equally. They will be treated with respect, that their differences are accepted, and they are able to see a reflection of them within the program.

One goal I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is the requirement for continuous training on those subjects. The lack of training causes unintentional biases and prejudices, as well as missed opportunities for learning due to the lack of understanding others.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts, feedback, and providing resources to deepen my understanding of diversity, equity, and social justice.

    I agree with your goal that we should provide more training to address the inequities and social justice in our society. Thank you so much for your discussion and knowledge provided through this course.
    I wish you luck in your educational journey.
