Presented by Britt Hawthorne and Montessori Northwest.
Join us for an in-person* event: Saturday, November 15, 2025 9:00-4:00 PST
*Limited capacity event
When we commit to collectively talking about fairness, equality, and justice with young children, we begin to envision a world in which not only children but all people are treated with dignity: free from the burden of unfair assumptions based on a single characteristic. It becomes a world where we actively challenge racism and bias each and every day.
This in-person workshop aims to dismantle the color-blind assumption and prepare children to work toward justice. This presentation shares concrete ways Montessori guides and classroom educators can support their learners' developing racial, ethnic, and physical identities. Educators will learn how to empower learners, affirm their numerous identities, and challenge pre-prejudice.
Anti-bias Education in Montessori is suitable for primary guides (3-6 year-olds) and elementary guides (6-12 years old) who are beginning to implement the anti-bias education framework.
