SUMMARY:An Anti-Bias Approach to Recognizing the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:An anti-bias approach to recognizing holidays prioritizes inclusivity and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. Instead of focusing on mainstream or dominant holidays\, early childhood programs celebrate various cultural and religious observances\, ensuring children feel represented and valued. \nTaking an anti-bias approach to recognizing holidays will help you foster a learning environment where children learn about and appreciate different traditions\, cultivating empathy and understanding. By incorporating various holidays into the curriculum\, early childhood professionals promote inclusivity and empower children to embrace the richness of cultural diversity in their learning experiences. \nTrainer: Cheryl Joseph\, Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education\, Oakton College \nAudience:  All Providers \n2 Learning Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Hey\, Why is that Lady in a Wheelchair?: Disability Awareness for Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Young children are naturally curious…they’re supposed to be.  We want them to be and that’s how they learn. So how to we nurture that curiosity in situations where they encounter something or someone new and different from them? Participants will discuss and explore new ways to “normalize” disabilities so the curiosity becomes natural interaction. We will examine ways to build this into the everyday environment and discuss the value\, or invalue\, of simulating disabilities (for example\, pretending to be blind to see how that “might feel”). Finally\, participants will take an introspective look at their own views and experiences to examine how this may impact integration of this topic into their classroom. \nTrainer: Ann Wilson\, 4-C Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free
