Abstract
Racism continues to be an ongoing and pervasive problem within the United States. Nevertheless, many early childhood teachers remain reluctant to teach children about racism and racial justice in their classrooms. In this paper, we offer an anti-racist curriculum model for helping children identify, resist, and respond to racism in constructive ways. We discuss rationales behind teaching children about race and racism. Next, we describe broad goals for an early childhood anti-racist curriculum. We conclude with practical examples that early childhood teachers might draw from as they develop and implement activities aimed at helping children work toward racial justice.
