Hi Shosho,

"Anti bias is the practice of inclusion, which accepts that all people are of value and should be respected. Following an anti bias curriculum in early care and education settings has the outcome of creating secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships that value diversity among people."

I have got some useful pdfs and some links you can read to get more ideas to answer this question:

Also some useful pdfs on Anti Bias Curriculum. Have a look at the attachments here.

Let me know how you go...

since on on this bias topic i have another question. how would the centre address bias with the children.

would a good example be using resources such as hand puppets to play out scenarios be a good example... any other ideas?

cheers.

Hi Shosho,

Hand puppets is a good example which you could use. You could also sing songs, have group discussions, display posters, read stories on related issues and role play. That's all I can come up with from the top of my head! :giggle:
