Curriculum
Equity and Diversity Learning
Mitchell incorporates an anti-bias, equity and diversity curriculum to supplement social-emotional learning. As a natural part of classroom community circles, students explore windows into the experiences of others. This learning also mirrors of some of their own experiences, as they read picture books focused on the following major topics:
- Empathy and understanding
- Healthy, complex identities
- Respect across differences
- Notice, name and reject bias
- Responsiveness and action
When students are seen, valued and heard they are less likely to mistreat others and be bullied themselves. Mitchell utilizes resources from AmazeWorks.
