Leadership Required for Anti-Bias Education

No one is perfect - that’s why pencils have erasers

"We have found that developing programs based on anti-bias education principles is a multifaceted undertaking requiring both organizational and educational change. It is doable — but only with persistence, time and strategic thinking" (Derman-Sparks, LeeKeenan, & Nimmo, 2015). It is important to recognize that the leadership required in anti-bias work involves not only working with teachers and their teaching, but also policies, procedures, admissions, budget, and hiring.
In their book Leading Anti-Bias Early Childhood Programs: A Guide for Change, the authors also go on to share that conflict is inevitable:
"Conflict and tension is when growth happens. It is an indicator of change. We may have different viewpoints, but when we struggle together, and really listen, we are often surprised. Do not make assumptions. Agree to disagree. Acknowledge our own mistakes. Be humble."
