No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.

The Council for Professional Recognition recently published a white paper, "Diversity and Inclusion in Early Care and Education." This paper cites four goals for anti-bias education proposed by Louise Derman-Sparks and Julie Olsen Edwards in their book, Anti-Bias Education for Young Children and Ourselves:
- Each child will demonstrate self-awareness, confidence, family pride, and positive social identities.
- Each child will express comfort and joy with human diversity; accurate language for human differences; and deep, caring human connections.
- Each child will increasingly recognize unfairness, have language to describe unfairness, and understand that unfairness hurts.
- Each child will demonstrate empowerment and the skills to act, with others or alone, against prejudice and/or discriminatory actions.

Anti-Bias Education should be a teaching element in all classrooms. Teachers, themselves, should have experience with the concepts of Anti-Bias Education during their own higher level teacher preparation. My own life as a professional in early learning and as a involved community individual has benefited from the awareness and understanding of ABE.

I am Hispanic and only once experienced discrimination not to mention other times when in mingle groups saw rolling of the eyes, however I know who I am and did not affected me. I am so, so very happy that Early Education is including Anti-Bias in their curriculum. I am a Director of early education program and have children of various cultures and backgrounds, and I love them all. Our program makes every effort possible to make every children feel no different than other. Please, Please keep working on this issue. We are racing a new generation and early learning can make a world of difference. Thank you for Caring.
