Anti-Bias Classroom Reflection
a. I have not applied an anti-bias curriculum yet, but there are a few times where I’ve encountered a situation where I could have used what I learned in these readings. The biggest problem I’ve encountered is when the appropriate time to educate the children about what they may have saw or why they don’t want to play with a particular child. This occurred, because I wasn’t educated enough myself on the situation. Another problem is, I had the preconceived notion that children as young as two don’t understand such concepts. From these readings and what I learned in other classes, children know a lot more then we know. From not knowing this, I came to the conclusion there was no need to teach or give children the opportunity to learn about

    The short article, Moving Beyond Colorblindedness in Early Childhood Classrooms emphasizes on teaching diversity in an early childhood classroom. The article deliberately encourages teachers to teach children about race by communicating racial diversity to them however they can. The publisher of the article states that, “Once teachers recognize that silence on these issues contributes to the problem, then they may be more likely to interrupt racism rather than ignore it.” Being color blind to the racial issue that arises within the minds of every child will not fix the problem, but instead make the problem expand.…

    I suggested a friend of mine who I’d known for 10 years apply for a position where I work. In the beginning everything seemed to be working out. Then the management team decided to switch our supervisor and hire people who supported their “new vision”. 6 months into the job my friend received a good review and a raise. Three weeks later she was fired. The first thing I thought was there is something not right here . She had never been given any verbal warning nor had she ever been written up. The supervisor asked her about an issue with one account on 3 different occasions but otherwise she was never told her work was bad. The only thing they said was we are letting you go because you are not a good fit.…

    A recent decision that I had to make that involved both critical thinking and a bias was while I was at work. I am in charge of the back office, and often have to deal with patients ordering materials when they come in for their exams, and then not wanting to pay for them, or not understanding their insurance benefits. In some instances this leads to mistakes being made on the offices end, and the patient is either not charged enough or over charged. Either way, when the patient comes to pick up their order they are not pleased with the office and I am left to make a quick decision, but still put some critical thinking into it. The biased that is involved in this decision is the loss aversion, I am usually not looking to gain anything from the situation, but prevent or reduce my losses. The particular situation, a patient ordered a year supply of contacts, was only charged for half the supply though. When they came to pick it up, the mistake had been caught and the additional charges were applied to their account. They were told multiple times that they had paid in full for the amount discussed, and was aggravated when they now had a balance. In an effort to keep the patient happy, and returning to the office for their supplies in the future, I had to make a quick yet rational decision to reduce the price of the product; covering our cost only, leaving no profit to be made. This made the patient happy, and they remain a loyal patient. My critical thinking was defiantly affected by biased, and I was trying to reduce my losses, rather than focus on making a profit.…

    It also crucial to understand how racial disparities in the classroom can lead to racial stereotyping and racial discrimination. Unfortunately, some teachers may stereotype African American students as delinquent or academically inferior, thus they may be more punitive towards minority children. Therefore, Rocque and Pasternoster (2011) states that their research will evaluate if black students are discriminated by use of school punishment, and if disparate treatment is used more in elementary school. The amount of school discipline and the proportion of African American students will be measured to see correlations exist between the two…

    Biasing – Avoid asking questions that forces the children to fit your preconceived notion or interpretation. Do not use questions such as: Do you not feel that too much sugar causes you to lose concentration or your attention when taking a test. Instead reword it like this: How do you feel that the consumption of sugar affects your attention when taking a test. Set up questions to obtain the child’s grade and their preferences of sweets like how many and what product they consume.…

    At such a young age, children pick up behaviors, attitudes and beliefs from adults. Adults set the example for young children and help build the foundation for life-long beliefs, values and attitudes. Toddlers are “sensitive and catch feelings from adults” (York, 2006, pg. 15). If a child is in a classroom where the teacher is implementing prejudice attitudes or implementing stereotypical material, the children will pick up on these attitudes towards other students and will be easily influenced by other educators as well. As an educator, one can prevent stereotypes by promoting social skills and social action. This can be done by finding classroom materials that encourage children to engage in pro-social skills and social action by displaying a peace pledge or kindness pledge. Steps can be created for children in order to resolve nonviolent conflict with another. A bulletin board can also be created that is dedicated to recognizing people in the classroom, school, and local community who are working towards making a difference in social change (York, 2006, pg. 153). Photographs and posters of individuals working towards social change can also be put around the classroom and on the bulletin board.…

    When I first started school at the very young age of six I remember stepping through the stone threshold and into a huge elementary school with diverse attributes like height, nationality, personality and race. It was amazing to see all the diverse people at the school including myself! I thought to myself that I wouldn’t fit into school with the other kindergarteners at first but I actually did because most of the kids in my class lived in my neighborhood. It felt so awesome to be in a diverse class with students that welcomed you with an open heart and even felt better to be getting an education than just sitting at home for five years and sleeping, eating, playing and drinking in a diaper. In the first few weeks of starting elementary school everything was good, I was happy to be away from home and socializing with new people and getting an education. After the…

    During this assignment, I will be discussing whether or not it is worth the financial cost of having a Teaching Assistant (TA) within a classroom setting. I will be elaborating on: the roles and responsibilities that Teaching Assistants have and how this can be affected by both the Teacher and the children in the class; the effect that they have on the children’s learning both in group and on a one to one situations; different opinions that people have about TAs and how this can affect the class team and I will also be discussing people’s views on whether or not Teaching Assistants are worth the money. TA’s can play a vital role in the classroom but may also be used ineffectively. I will be highlighting the importance this plays in a classroom…
