This film Reflecting on Anti-bias Education in Action: The Early Years (LeeKeenan et al., 2021) is an excellent portrayal of how anti-bias and anti-oppressive practices are used in early childhood classrooms. The film provides examples of the four goals of anti-bias education: Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Action. The film covers important issues of racial diversity, language diversity, gender expression, homelessness, and differing abilities. The movie is 48 minutes long but is well worth the time to see authentic examples of anti-bias practices in action. As current and future leaders of early childhood programs, the example begins with you. As you set the precedent for inclusion it trickles down to educators in the program to let children build confidence in themselves.
