Reflections on Climate Action
Anti-Bias Early Childhood Working Group Meeting
April 27, 2024
The meeting kicked off with a welcome and land acknowledgement. For the icebreaker, working group members shared how they have cultivated a sense of respect for and responsibility to the earth in their classrooms and the ways their schools support or undermine environmental justice. We watched and reflected on a video of powerful activism happening in Atlanta with the Highlander School. After a break, working group member Ashley Chu shared lessons and resources about how she's taught about the climate crisis with early childhood students, naming both individual and collective actions to help combat climate change.
