A hope that I have for children and families of diverse backgrounds, is to have experiences of equality and respect within associations which they exist. I would like families to have experiences that exclude stereotypical judgments that negatively impact their wellbeing. I would like children of non-dominant cultures and races to have confidence in their beliefs and inner selves, as well for children of dominant backgrounds to be accepting of others differences.
One goal I would like to set for myself is to continue gaining a sense of awareness related to my personal biases that may have been influenced my media images and societal misconceptions. By eliminating my own biases I can then use my self-awareness in positive ways.
Thank You everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences related to anti-bias education. I enjoyed reading your comments.
Hi there. I love your artwork. I also like what you said about continuing to learn about your personal biases. This is something that I am going to do as well. This class has really opened my eyes to my own hidden biases and how they creep out into my work. I too will continue the self-exploration and self-correction process.
