Anti-Racism In Elementary Aged Children

my midterm project will be on anti racism within elementary

schools. How to be an anti racist educator?

Yeah. In order to be an anti racist educator, you

must start with yourself.

The only way toe help your students understand how to

not be biased towards other people is to make sure

that you're not being biased towards them.

Learn with your crew and by crew.

I mean your co teachers, your other faculty members and

anyone like that.

Um, wth e only way to really be educated is

to have a group of people and make sure that

all of you are educated so that you are not

standing alone trying to teach Children how to be anti

racist. Think about the larger content.

So make sure that not only are you teaching them

not to be anti racist, but your content through school

that is teaching them is anti racist as well.

Right? Hold each other accountable.

You and your Kurt need to hold each other accountable.

To be sure that you are smashing any biases in

anything like that in order to keep the Children accountable

is well, affirm your students any time they are speaking

out against racism or starting to really understand the topic

of anti racism.

Make sure that you affirm that, and that way they

can continue to grow as people ask students what they

need. Some students may be very uncomfortable and conversing on

this topic, and they may not really want to talk

about it.

So if maybe they need some one on one time

rather than in class, the whole group of people that

might be better.

But make sure you ask because they sometimes Children won't

tell you.

Yeah, just teaching information to students.

Chance break down information for students so that they can

understand it.

You're not going to tell the third grader that a

man was shot in the street.

You're going to do it in a more simplistic way.

That they understand.

Avoid conversations.

Making makes it worse.

So if you avoid the conversation to tell them that

what they said to Billy was inappropriate and racist thing,

there's no way for them to understand that they won't

have the conversation telling them that that comment was ignorant

and rude, which will just make it worse because it's

affirming that they should be able to continue to make

comments that way, recognizing that Children can have these conversations,

Children are a lot smarter and much more prepared for

real life conversations than we think sometimes, and adults need

to realize that in order for them toe be able

to have these conversations be open to having these conversations.

As a teacher, as a teacher, there's gonna be lots

of difficult conversations that you have to have, and the

only way to have them is to come become comfortable

with them.

What is equity?

A big part of anti racism is ensuring equity equity

is the fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement for all

people, while at the same time striving to identify and

eliminating barriers that help prevent the full participation of some

groups. Well, right on.

The only way to have equity is to not give

everyone the same opportunity, but the people that have a

harder time giving them the same amount of treatment as

the other people.

Why the moral case for equity is that each person

has a value to contribute and that we must address

barriers and historical factors that have led to unfair conditions

for marginalized populations.

Just Theo nly way for society to continue to become

better is for us to allow everyone the same opportunity

to contribute and break down barriers for the marginalized populations.
