How can teachers create a more inclusive classroom for our young learners? On season 5, episode 2 of the Early Risers podcast, we hear from early childhood teacher and mentor teacher, Veronica Reynoso, who challenges conventional teaching methods, emphasizing the critical role of community-building and active disruption of biases. Here are some things you can do to create a more inclusive classroom: -In classrooms, being present and observing dynamics is key to understanding and addressing biases. -Reflect on power imbalances related to race, sharing strategies that promote a balanced and inclusive environment. -Create a safe space for open conversations about race, fostering an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. -Embrace the importance of circling back with information, ensuring we're well-prepared to guide these discussions. -Address racial incidents with swift and thoughtful action—share your deescalation strategies with co-workers to create a supportive learning space. -Evaluate your program's media representation to ensure diverse and inclusive perspectives. -Anticipate and navigate pushback from parents when implementing anti-bias practices, fostering a collaborative approach to education. Together, we can nurture inclusivity and empower our students! 📚✨ #InclusiveEducation #AntiBiasClassroom #TeacherTalks #EducationForAll #EarlyRisersPodcast #TeacherTips #EarlyChildhoodEducation #LittleMomentsCount

"The fear is that the child is falling behind. But falling behind what? And whom and when and for how long? I mean, like, as adults, are you exactly on the same level with every adult your age? On every dimension? Do you know exactly the same things as every other adult? And if you don't, so what?"  🤡 Like many parents, I've had moments of wondering if I'm failing my kid. I went through that same process when I began questioning the traditional school system. Initially, I worried about how school might fail my child, but then I started to consider if not following the traditional route of #education would lead to failure on my part. Taking the full responsibility for your kids' education can be scary, absolutely. But the more I let go and reflect on our fears, the more I realized - hey, nothing to be afraid of, the biggest thread to my kid is already out the way: traditional schooling.  😬 In this episode, I'm talking to the founder of ⁠The Hub⁠, ⁠Luba Vangelova⁠, about the depths of this fear of failing our kids, and how to escape that fearful cycle and head into a future full of trust. ⁠Luba ⁠is an #unschooling mum herself, she shares a lot about her perspective on unschooling, and of course she introduces us to The Hub, a unique learning-cohort programs for unschooled/homeschooled tweens and teens!

Today, let's dive deep with Sam Sorbo, a passionate advocate for educational reform, as she challenges the status quo of conventional education. Sam shares insights on the limitations of traditional schooling—from stifling creativity to conforming young minds rather than encouraging critical thinking. Traditional education isn’t just insufficient — it can even be actively harmful. Don’t let your children suffer the abuse inherent to the educational system. Instead, take a bigger role in their upbringing. They’re your children, after all!
