Identifying and Reducing Microaggressions in Early Learning and Care

Micro aggressions are verbal or nonverbal slights against minority and racialized groups. They happen causally, frequently, and often without any harm intended. Micro aggressions reveal bias towards others and leave behind uncomfortable feelings.  In this webinar, participants will do the work necessary to recognize micro aggression within the context of working with young children and families in order to create inclusive environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging.  In the webinar participants will:

1. Distinguish between implicit and explicit Bias

2. Become aware of microaggressions

3. Explore the effects of microaggressions on the recipients

4. Reflect on addressing microaggression to foster an inclusive environment
