This document discusses ways to improve tolerance among students. It provides several strategies that parents and teachers can use, including being a role model of respect for differences, carefully selecting media exposure, having discussions about unfair stereotypes, providing opportunities to interact with diverse groups of people, and emphasizing similarities between people rather than differences. The document also recommends confronting one's own prejudices, committing to a tolerant environment, refusing discriminatory comments, countering discriminatory beliefs, and living as a daily example of tolerance.

Part I. Overcoming Bias
I am a person who firmly believes that everyone is equal despite anything. The fact that one may be of a different color or religion does no affected me because I think that everyone is equal. Also, for people who come from a poor background, I feel like they should be considered to fit into society. My culture can affect my professional work, especially when working in an area that is sensitive to culture. It can have a affirmative impact on the people I labor with because they will learn to interact with others well. On the other hand, institutions where cultural diversity is not considered necessary, it will have a negative influence on me because expressing the difference would be difficult. I believe that every individual has a right to experience equality. Oppression is not suitable for individuals who are from a different culture or background. Also, people should not exercise bias in workplaces by making decisions that affect others and benefit themselves.
To be friendly and interact with people without fear despite their differences- an individual's behavior affects how they think (Gibson & Barr, 2017). For example, if a student walks up to me to ask a question, it is my role to be friendly to them to ensure that they do not fear to approach me another time. Also, for the students who come from poor backgrounds, it is essential to be friendly to them to ensure that they concentrate on their studies. It will help boost their performance because they will know that the teacher does not worry about the difference but in offering them quality education. Hanging out with people who have a positive attitude compared to mine- for example, being culturally insensitive can be eliminated by sensitive people. Interacting more with people who take into account all cultures can have significant influence on how I handle people from different cultures. To identify situations when the biases affect my behavior- when working with children in a class setup, it is essential to assess every student to know their strengths and weaknesses. Also, through observation, one can identify a student who is having difficulties in class and help them (Gibson & Barr, 2017). To avoid bias, concentrating on helping one child can affect others because they will feel that they are not necessary. Therefore, it is essential to focus on all the kids to ensure that equality is observed. Being biased affects one's behavior and attitude towards things.
The strategies chosen can help build a positive relationship between educators, children, and parents to ensure that every party is satisfied. Working with individuals who are not biased can help reduce biases. Being friendly can help children from a poor background to study well because of positive energy. It will help their parents to work hard to ensure that their kids study well. Also, people with a positive attitude can help in the development of the school so that it can account for all studen.

EDUC 6358-Strategies for Working with Diverse Children
September 6th, 2022
Week 1/Post 1: Formulating Goals
1.
The two professional goals you developed related to anti-bias education and your work in an early childhood setting.
· Goal 1: Developing relationships to form inclusive communities in the classroom
· Goa1 2: Develop an awareness of how unconscious bias can impact the classroom.
2.
The ways in which the readings and media segment from this week have influenced the formulation of your goals. Be sure to support your comments with specific references to and/or examples from the Required Resources.
According to Walden University (2011) “The world today is a world in which children are going to grow up side-by-side with people who are very, very different from them. The notion of growing up in a community of people very much like you is gone” (pg. 1). I also came across a website “
Teaching Tolerance,” where it discussed critical practices for anti-bias education and teacher leadership. This article was about the importance of valuing and embracing multiple perspectives to reach the best and most comprehensive approach to leadership. The author suggests teacher leaders reflect on what they still don’t know and need to learn about something to seek out professional development for growth in those areas; the author really promotes the idea of having self-awareness to diminish bias and become culturally aware in teacher leader practices (Learning for Justice, 2022). Both the “Walden and Teaching Tolerance” sources are about the road and progression to becoming an anti-bias educator.
3.
The ways in which the implementation of these goals will help you to work more effectively with young children and families.
I aspire to be an anti-biased channel in which students will experience culture in a vast and more comprehensive way. Children’s experiences in education should teach the four goals of anti-bias education (i.e., identity, diversity, justice, and activism) and promote the ultimate goal of equality and social equity for all (NAEYC, n.d.). I am, the compilation of everything experienced in my life. With this, we are constantly growing, changing, adapting new view and discarding others. Each experience builds on the last to continue to reinforce the structure you are each day. As future educators, it is our job to be the future of knowledge. What we say, do, actions we take directly reflect what our students see. Choose your curriculum wisely, but choose your words even more carefully. Take the wealth of knowledge you and only your life has accumulated and share it with each class you have the chance to influence. Be the spark of change and the advocate to every child that walks through your door.
4.
Challenges you might encounter on your journey to become an early childhood professional who understands and practices anti-bias education.

From Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence by Dr. Derald Wing Sue. Learn more: http://bit.ly/1xZs1tm
The words used and our interpretation of images and statistics are an insight into our perspective or bias – our view of the world. Bias influences our attitudes and behaviours towards other people, places and issues. Our experiences, gender, age, class, religion and values all affect our bias. People who are passionate about an issue will generally be quite overt about their bias. People who want to promote a particular point of view may be less overt and more subtle in their use of words and images.
Global education aims to assist students to recognise bias in written and visual texts, consider different points of view and make judgements about how bias can lead to discrimination and inequality.

CHAPTER 4
Building an Anti‑Bias Education Program: Clarifying and Brave Conversations with Children
Everything teachers do—setting up the learning environment; planning the curriculum; observing, assessing, and thinking about individual children; and so much more—rests upon establishing strong, caring, and trusting relationships with children and families. Without such relationships with their teachers, children find it hard to open up, to learn, to grow, to feel safe. These relationships are built onSeeing each individual child as a member of a unique family with many, often complex, social identities that shape their learning and ways of beingRespecting each child’s individual way of learning and being rather than imposing an expected behaviorKnowing how children learn to think and how they are, and are not yet, able to discern what is happening around themUnderstanding that children are in the process of learning at all times and that it takes many experiences before they master an idea or a behaviorListening carefully to each child to understand how each is making sense of experiences and/or behavior
An essential element in building strong relationships is your willingness to engage in conversations that support children’s sense of self, that let them know they are safe and honored exactly as who they are. Children live in a world that sends multiple, stereotype‑laden messages about their comparative value, their right to be visible, and how they are expected to behave based on their economic class, ethnicity, gender, abilities, racial identity, and religion. These overt and covert messages affect their own sense of self‑worth and how they think about people who are different. Avoiding conversations about identity and fairness is a disservice to children who are developmentally dependent upon adults to help them make sense of the complex and contradictory societal messages they receive.
When programs do not demonstrate respect for and acknowledgement of human diversity, children and families cannot feel truly seen or honored. When a teacher avoids directly addressing comments or behaviors that can hurt another child, no child feels safe. Keeping silent not only does not help children, it actively hurts them. Learning how to break this silence, how to talk about anti‑bias issues with clarity, courage, and caring, is an essential skill not only in the world of early childhood education but in the world at large. This chapter explores ways to build trusting relationships with children by directly talking about identity, diversity, injustice, and activism, which correspond to the four goals of ABE.The Hurtful Power of Silence
It is hoped that children will turn to their trusted adults when they are confused or are hurt by their experiences. But to do so, children need a vocabulary to describe what they are thinking. Too often, adults ignore children’s attempts to understand how people can be different from one another and yet the same. A Whit ...

[CULTURAL DIVERSITY] 1
Initially, I must admit that I had a belief that I am a neutral person who can work well with people from different cultures and races. However, the course has challenged and disapproves my perception. The reason is that I used to think that I am racial neutral if I do not act in a manner to show racial bias. The course has exposed and sensitized me that one can show bias overtly or covertly or both. What compelled me to realize that there are two form of bias is the race tests I took. In the test, I realized that there are some questions where I feel inner preference towards one race over the other.
I have realized that diversity is something that is both explicitly and implicitly perceived and that it is important to understand both form of diversity so as to find out better ways of promoting a multicultural setting and coexistence. It is high time for most people to learn that overt or blatant acts of discrimination are old-fashioned. People also need to know that although they have seemingly declined, new form of discrimination, covert discrimination is penetrating the society at high rate and that if policy makers are not keen in eradicating the covert racism, it may compromise the peaceful coexistence among cultures (Ramsey, 2015).
From the new insights learned, it is apparent that professionals in the early childhood field need to understand their own cultural framework and biases so that they can treat children in a neutral way without any form of covert discrimination. The reason for this is that children are more likely to adopt the covert discrimination. In addition, understanding their own cultural biases will help professionals teach children to be culturally neutral.

Unit 1: Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3
Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?
Submit your response to the

Discussion: Week 11: Critical Conversations—Part 2: Taking a Stand
Today’s early childhood professionals are operating in a much more diverse world than those who have come before them. Whether the diversity is racial, cultural, economic, or related to sexual orientation and/or familial differences, professionals must not only recognize and respect but also seek to understand the unique context of each child with whom he or she works. Part of this journey involves replacing mainstream ideas of how things ‘are’ or ‘should be’ with culturally responsive practices that are enhanced by home-school relationships.
In this Discussion, you again engage in critical conversations, this time focusing on the concepts of culturally responsive practices and the use of published literacy programs.
To prepare
Review this module’s Learning Resources. Then, select from the following the topic that most resonates with you. Last, conduct additional research to find two articles for and two articles against the topic you have selected.

The course has exposed and sensitized me that one can show bias overtly or covertly or both. What compelled me to realize that there are two form of bias is the race tests I took. In the test, I realized that there are some questions where I feel inner preference towards one race over the other.
I have realized that diversity is something that is both explicitly and implicitly perceived and that it is important to understand both form of diversity so as to find out better ways of promoting a multicultural setting and coexistence. It is high time for most people to learn that overt or blatant acts of discrimination are old-fashioned. People also need to know that although they have seemingly declined, new form of discrimination, covert discrimination is penetrating the society at high rate and that if policy makers are not keen in eradicating the covert racism, it may compromise the peaceful coexistence among cultures (Ramsey, 2015).
From the new insights learned, it is apparent that professionals in the early childhood field need to understand their own cultural framework and biases so that they can treat children in a neutral way without any form of covert discrimination. The reason for this is that children are more likely to adopt the covert discrimination. In addition, understanding their own cultural biases will help professionals teach children to be culturally neutral.

Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment.

Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

Discussion: Week 11: Critical Conversations—Part 2: Taking a Stand
Today’s early childhood professionals are operating in a much more diverse world than those who have come before them. Whether the diversity is racial, cultural, economic, or related to sexual orientation and/or familial differences, professionals must not only recognize and respect but also seek to understand the unique context of each child with whom he or she works. Part of this journey involves replacing mainstream ideas of how things ‘are’ or ‘should be’ with culturally responsive practices that are enhanced by home-school relationships.
In this Discussion, you again engage in critical conversations, this time focusing on the concepts of culturally responsive practices and the use of published literacy programs.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• Help the children to feel good about them. Kids with strong self-esteem value and respect themselves and are
more likely to treat others with respect, too. Help the child to feel accepted, respected, and valued.
• Give kids opportunities to work and play with others who are different from them. When choosing a school, day
camp, or child-care facility for your child, find one with a diverse population.
• Learn together about holiday and religious celebrations of others.
Teaching at School Level
Keep Talking
Many believe the last thing teens are interested in is having a conversation with parents. But even if your teen
doesn’t initiate conversations about issues of difference, find ways to bring those topics up with them. Use current
issues from the news, such as the immigration debate or same-sex marriage, as a springboard for discussion. Ask your teen
what she thinks about the issues.
Stay Involved
Messages about differences exist all around your teen: the Internet, songs, music videos, reality shows, ads and
commercials, social cliques at school. Know the websites your teen enjoys visiting; take time to listen to or watch the
music and shows they enjoy. Then discusses the messages they send. Ask your teen about the group or groups she most
identifies with at school. Discuss the labels or stereotypes that are associated with such groups.
Live Congruently
Discussing the importance of valuing difference is essential, but modeling this message is even more vital.
Evaluate your own circle of friends or the beliefs you hold about certain groups of people. Do your actions match the
values you discuss with your teen? Teens are more likely to be influenced by what you do than what you say, so it’s
important for your words and behaviors to be congruent.
Broaden Opportunities
It may be natural for teens to stick to groups they feel most comfortable with during the school day. These often
are the people they identify as being most like themselves. Provide other opportunities for your teen to interact with peers
from different backgrounds. Suggest volunteer, extracurricular, worship and work opportunities that will broaden your
teen’s social circle.
Encourage Activism
Promote ways for your teen to get involved in causes he cares about. No place for him to hang out with friends?
Encourage him to get together with peers to lobby city officials for a teen social center or skate park. Upset about
discriminatory treatment of teenagers by a storekeeper or business? Give your teen suggestions for writing a letter of
complaint or planning a boycott. When young people know they have a voice in their community, they are empowered to
help resolve issues of injustice.
Tolerance Through Moral & Value Education
"Tolerance" means in the Arabic language (El Tassamoh ) This is needed because in the English Literature it
means accepting others, i.e. accepting differences, whether cultural, religions, traditions, languages, habits….etc. In the

Impact Factor(JCC): 1.1947- This article can be downloaded from www.bestjournals.in
Arabic language it also means accepting others and appreciating differences, we have a saying "without differences among
people life would be unlivable But in addition, tolerance means many other behaviors and attitudes…it means:
• Being able to control one's temper and anger,
• Being patient,
• Being able to live under stress.
• Being able to cope with hardships,
• Being able to accommodate different points of view,
• Being able to forgive and forget.
So, as we see it means much more than only accepting others and their differences, it deals a great deal with inner
feelings and behaviors.
Seven Ways to Nurture Tolerance in Students
Did you know that today’s American youth are displaying intolerant actions at alarming rates-and at younger and
younger ages? The FBI tells us most hate crimes are committed by youth younger than nineteen. It’s important to
remember that children aren’t born hateful Hatred and intolerance is learned. If today’s children are to have any chance of
living harmoniously in this multiethnic world, it is critical that adults nurture it. Here are seven strategies, from my book
Building Moral Intelligence that you can use that help curtail bigotry while at the same time influencing your students to
treat others with respect and understanding
Confront your Own Prejudices
The first step to nurturing tolerance is to examine your own prejudices and reflect on how you might be projecting
those ideas. Chances are that you are communicating those attitudes unintentionally to children. Do make a conscious
attempt to temper them so aren’t passed on to your students.
Commit to a Tolerant, Respectful Environment
Culture does matter. So if you really want students to respect diversity, you must adopt a conviction to emphasize
respect and tolerance. Once students know your expectations, they will be more likely to embrace your principles.
Refuse to Allow Discriminatory Comments
When you hear prejudicial comments, verbalize your displeasure. How you respond sends a clear message to the
child about your values: “That's disrespectful and I won’t allow such things to be said in my house,” or "That's a biased
comment, and I don't want to hear it." Students need to hear your discomfort so that they know you really walk your talk. It
also models a response youth should imitate if prejudicial comments are made in their presence.
Embrace Diversity
From a young age, expose students to positive images-including music, literature, videos, public role models, and
examples from the media that represent a variety of ethnic groups. Ignorance fuels prejudice so expose students to different
races, religions, cultures, genders, abilities, and beliefs..

Index Copernicus Value: 3.0 - Articles can be sent to editor.bestjournals@gmail.com
Emphasize Similarities
Encourage children to look for what he has in common with others instead of how he is different. Any time you
hear a student point out how she is different from someone, you might say. “There are lots of ways you are different from
other people. Now let’s try to think of ways you are the same.” Help her see how similarities outweigh differences.
Counter Discriminatory Beliefs
When you hear a student make a prejudicial comment, listen to find out why he feels the way he does. Then
gently challenge his views and point out why they are incorrect. For example if a student says, “Homeless people should
get jobs and sleep in their own houses.” You might counter: “There are many reasons homeless people don’t work or have
houses. They may be ill or can’t find jobs. Houses cost money, and not everyone can pay for one.”
Live Your Life as an Example of Tolerance
The best way for any child to learn tolerance is for him to watch and listen to your daily example. So ask yourself
each day one critical question: “If my students had only my behavior to copy, would he be witnessing an example of what I
want him to emulate?” Make sure you are walking your talk.
CONCLUSIONS
The best way to improve children tolerance is not throughout lectures but through our example. So be a living
textbook of tolerance for the students and for all other children.
There are three main words that we can get out of the word tolerance that are very important
• One of those words is respect. Respect is a number one step in life, because having respect can get you far in life.
If you want respect, you must show respect, even if you feel disrespected, you can still be the bigger person and
be respectful and this is when tolerance comes in.
• Another word of tolerance is peace. Peace is a good thing to have. Without peace the world would be a disaster.
Peace is not everywhere, and that's because of gangs and violence, but when we see things like that, we should
try to avoid the situation or better the situation.
• Courage is another word that we need in life. It really takes a lot of courage to say "no" to bad things. When
peer-pressure steps in, you still need to be strong enough to say "no", and that is when courage is really
important. Courage can also mean stepping into a bad situation, like seeing a little getting bullied and stopping it.
