Presentation How & Why of Fingerplays - CORRECT ANSWER Anti-Bias Curriculum- Why & How - CORRECT ANSWER The Anti-Bias Curriculum has been put in place to help to create a diverse learning environment for young children. This curriculum helps us to understand how we interact with other people in the classrooms, how we handle conflicts, and the materials we use to provide children with a positive message regarding diversity.Young children wonder and notice the differences among people. Some examples are having baby dolls of all ethnicities as well as reading books that include characters of all ethnicities. There are various kinds of discrimination that we need to be aware of including: race, religion, income, culture, age, ability and gender. Discrimination can be harmful to a child's self image as well as their self-esteem. An ABC should not only be used in a classroom setting with a diverse group of students but also in an alike group so that the students will be accepting of the differences in each other and also learn how to build tolerance for one another. This goes to show that diversity is a beautiful thing. When a very young child shows examples of negative discrimination, we should understand that that child is not intending to have hatred for the person being discriminated Instead, he or she is trying to understand her/his own place as well as other's in society. The teacher's role in the situation is to intervene but not become angry at the child or draw conclusions that the child's home environment is "racist."
