Hi Katie. I just finished your Anti-Bias Education course. I found myself smiling, singing along and energized to build upon our anti-bias values and curriculum here at Lavender Farm Preschool. The weekend seminar I took with you, Qahira, and Hadiyah in 2019 was one of the most powerful, challenging, humbling, and fulfilling experiences I've had in my professional (and personal) life. I reflect on various parts of that weekend often. This course helped to bring all of the prior work and learning I've done around anti-bias education to the surface. And reminded me just how much more learning and work I have to do. In the wake of last week's white supremacist terrorist uprising, this work feels absolutely more relevant than ever (although the last five years have been a constant reminder of just how critical this work is). So, thank you for all of the work you do and thank you for opening yourself up to those of us educating and learning with our littles. Also, you mentioned you may create a class with a focus on persona dolls. Count me in! Take care! Jennifer McIlhenny
Wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! Eye opening and empowering.
LOVE this. So helpful. So practical and approachable. Great ideas.
