Anti Racism 101

Join us for a foundational two-part Anti-Racism series facilitated by the Mending the Chasm team, a local equity, inclusion and belonging-focused training, coaching, and consulting firm.

Module One: 

In this module, participants will:

● Learn about the foundations of anti-racist and anti-oppression practice and critical concepts in anti-racism, including white supremacy culture, accountability practice, and resourcing.
● Together we’ll explore practices that support building the cultural resilience needed to engage meaningfully with difference and differing needs based on our social
location.
● Utilization of a blend of polls, scenarios in small group breakout discussions, and virtual engagement platform.

Module Two:  

In this module, participants will:

● Building on the foundations offered in Part 1, this session will see us looking at the ways racism and oppression manifest in daily work culture, the ways we’ve been socialized around gender, race, and identity, and the
biases we hold that generate microaggressions
● This session will provide capacity-building opportunities around microaggressions, and how to actively practice anti-racist postures and principles.
● Utilization of a blend of polls, scenarios in small group breakout discussions, and virtual engagement platforms.

Intended Audience: Licensed Child Care Educators, School-Age Educators, EarlyON, Licensed Home Child Care Providers/Home Visitor, Supervisors, Managers, Support Staff
