I found some of the strategies for educators to be helpful to explicitly teach empathy and ways to stand up for themselves and others, especially when they receive confusing messages about themselves. It reminds me of Second Step and can be easily integrated into that curriculum.
  • Cultivate children’s empathy and ways to deal with the hurt of stereotyping. Read books that depict children experiencing unfair treatment based on their racial identity.
  • Tell persona doll stories about a discriminatory incident between dolls, engaging children’s empathy and problem-solving skills.
  • Intentionally plan activities to counter potential over generalizations or existing stereotypes in the children’s general environment.
I bolded the two points that I think are important to model and plan lessons for in my own classroom.
