About This Lesson
Part of the 2019 AFT TEACH Conference.
Books have the potential to create lasting impressions. When books contain experiences and characters to which children can relate, they foster children’s positive self-concept and respect for diversity. Attend this session to see how a variety of excellent children’s literature can help teachers explore the concepts of bias, diversity and social justice in their own classrooms. Participants will learn about central anti-bias education mastery skills such as developing vocabulary on basic terms and concepts relating to bias and discrimination, appreciating identity and culture, and recognizing and challenging bias and bullying.
