I think this would be a wonderful way to teach the lesson as it is a relatable and familiar movie for students. It also includes vocabulary to focus on and allows teachers to dig a little deeper based on those vocabulary terms. ]]> 2023-04-02 18:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541289924 christinapatterson826 https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541293443 This is a great discussion and awareness strategy that can be easily incorporated into your centers in you preschool classroom. You can use the mixed beans to create a visual for your sensory bins and talk to preschoolers about the differences and similarities. This is a great open-ended question starter. ]]> 2023-04-02 18:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541293443 christinapatterson826 https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541296431 This link provides teachers with resources and strategies for addressing and teaching preschool up to 2nd grade students about gender bias and sterotypes that may be common in all classrooms.

This serves as a great reminder and starting place for teachers to do a self-assessment concerning the environment they are creating. ]]> 2023-04-02 19:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541298979 christinapatterson826 https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541321723 This resource is a list of picture books that could be used with preschool and kindergarten students to introduce and start conversation concerning anti-bias and inclusion. A few of the books included on the list are: Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness, The Name Jar, The People Shall Continue, and many others. This list is geared toward young students, But I also feel many of these could also be sued in upper grades as conversation starters to discuss anti-bias and diversity. ]]> 2023-04-02 19:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541321723 christinapatterson826 https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541326643 This resource provides a guide for setting up stations in which all students will be asked to perform tasks such as: having students pick up pennies or tie their shoes with gloves on, finger spelling word puzzles, and listening to white noise while attempting to complete a task. There is also a station that shares a video that shows students a variety of things in the view of someone with autism. 
I think these stations would be easily used with students in grades 2nd -5th. ]]> 2023-04-02 20:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541326643 christinapatterson826 https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541332943 This is an article from edutopia about teaching on the topics of bias, diversity, and social justice. The article not only discusses the issues but also give five ways teachers can create prompts or opportunities to have discussions and provide times when students can think about their own feelings and thoughts toward others. 
These suggestions could easily be modified to be implemented into any age group or grade of children/students. ]]> 2023-04-02 20:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541332943 christinapatterson826 https://padlet.com/christinapatterson826/j3ihud8a3sz72xus/wish/2541338753 This is an outline of a lesson used with a focus around the book, The Colors of Us.
