This document discusses controversial issues that may arise in primary school religious education classes and how teachers should address them. It identifies issues like homophobia, racism, different family values, gender, grief, and financial awareness. While teachers are responsible for addressing these topics carefully, they also need to be aware of all potential issues and teach children about right and wrong. Some argue that raising controversial topics too early could influence children negatively, so teachers must find appropriate pedagogical approaches like community cohesion and promoting British values to discuss sensitive issues in a calm, inviting way.

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.

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 ...

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.

Challenges you might encounter on your journey to become an early childhood professional who understands and practices anti-bias education.

CHAPTER 11 Engaging in Collaborative Problem Solving with Families
CHAPTER 11 Engaging in Collaborative Problem Solving with Families
Ellen S. Amatea and Blaire Cholewa
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you will be able to:
■ Describe the four styles of conflict management.
■ Discuss the common barriers to engaging in collaborative family–school meetings to resolve student problems and difficulties.
■ Explain the principles that underlie collaborative family–school problem solving.
■ Describe the steps involved in conducting collaborative family–school problem-solving meetings.
■ Describe specific techniques for blocking the blaming that often characterizes family–school problem-solving efforts.
■ Discuss the use of the skills of structuring, listening, brainstorming, and consensus building in the facilitation of family–school problem-solving meetings.
■ Discuss the applicability of family–school problem-solving meetings with culturally diverse families.
Fifth-grade teacher: My approach is to “Let sleeping dogs lie.” I don’t meet with a parent unless I absolutely have to. Instead, I try and do everything I can to resolve a child’s difficulty myself, and pray either that those things work or that the problem will take care of itself.
Sixth-grade teacher: When I call parents in to meet with me about a problem their child has, I have a specific idea in mind of what I need for them to do to help me resolve it. My job in the meeting is to convince them to do what I think is needed.
Preschool teacher: I often find that when I meet with parents about a problem their child is having, I have a difficult time having them understand my point of view. Rather than their doing what I think is needed, I end up agreeing to do what they want to avoid hard feelings.
First-grade teacher: I believe it is important to have both students and their parents work with me to figure out how we might resolve a difficulty the student is experiencing. I firmly believe that three heads are better than one. I know that together we can often come up with ways of solving a problem that I would never be able to think of by myself.
Teachers often must relay unpleasant information to parents. Letting parents know about troublesome or inappropriate behavior, or that students are failing or must be retained, is never easy. These and other difficult communication tasks can engender feelings of apprehension and discomfort in both parents and teachers. As the preceding comments depict, educators vary in their style of discussing these matters with parents.
Some educators, such as the 5th-grade teacher depicted in the first comment, try to avoid conflict by not talking with parents about a child’s difficulty unless they absolutely must. These individuals tend to withdraw when faced with the possibility of conflict, perceiving their own goals and those of the child and family to be of much less importance than the fear of experiencing conflict. Feeling hopeless and helpless to address a child’s problem or to address and resolve conflict ...

Some educators, such as the 5th-grade teacher depicted in the first comment, try to avoid conflict by not talking with parents about a child’s difficulty unless they absolutely must. These individuals tend to withdraw when faced with the possibility of conflict, perceiving their own goals and those of the child and family to be of much less importance than the fear of experiencing conflict. Feeling hopeless and helpless to address a child’s problem or to address and resolve conflict ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Controversial issues in the primary school
- 1. Controversial issues in the Primary School How to tackle them?
- 2. Controversial issues There are several controversial issues identified by academics when teaching Religious Education in the Primary classroom: Homophobia Racism Family values – different types Gender Grief and loss Financial awareness
- 3. Tackling these issues! As a teacher it is part of your role to tackle these issues carefully. Although you will not come across all issues at one times, it is wise to be aware of all issues that could occur. It is important that children are taught the difference between right and wrong, preparing them for later life. For example; racism may not occur in a primary school however it is argued that it is important for children to be made aware of the issue so they know not to make racist remarks. However, some would argue that if you open the children’s eyes to these issues without them having any previous knowledge of it, that you are opening a door to future racism. There are many pedagogical approaches which can be applied to these issues, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere for the children. There are 4 main ways in which it is argued racism should be taught; antiracist education, multicultural education, community cohesion and British values.
