Anti-Bias Early Childhood Working Group
D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice has formed a working group for D.C. area early childhood (birth to 8 years old) teachers experienced in and committed to anti-bias education. The plans for a working group grew out of two sessions in the spring of 2018 at Halcyon on anti-bias early childhood education, including an event titled “Educators Explore Race and Representation in Early Childhood Literature.”
The goals for the working group are to:
Provide feedback on children’s literature and other resources
Support teacher growth and development
Collectively create new curricular resources
As of the 2025 - 2026 school year, all DCAESJ working groups meet quarterly, collectively engaging in themes of social justice education (visiting local history sites, developing lessons, and more). Breakouts by grade level allow deeper discussion and praxis alignment among peers.
Rolling applications accepted. If you are interested, please fill out the application. For more information, write to D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice.
