“…Consequently, the messages and treatment they receive from the larger society communicate to them how their race or those who look like them are treated. A message that is inconsistent with children's home experiences can be confusing, and can have negative effects in their development as well as learning (Derman-Sparks & Edwards, 2010;Nganga, 2015). As a result, early childhood educators need to pay attention to the lived experiences of the children that they work with because "pretending racial identity doesn't exist or doesn't matter leaves children to find their own way within a system of misinformation, confusion, and injury" (Derman-Sparks & Edwards, 2010, p. 80).…”

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine pre-service teachers' perceptions of a culturally responsive, anti-bias curriculum. Additionally, this study explored how the use of culturally responsive course work influenced the participating pre-service teachers' perceptions. Responses to both pre and post-teaching open ended questions, weekly reflective writings, evaluation of a children's books, and notes from the researcher's observation were analyzed qualitatively. Pre-teaching data showed that pre-service teachers had a rather superficial understanding of an anti-bias curriculum. However, post-teaching data showed that after experiencing culturally responsive curricula, pre-service teachers not only developed a better understanding of anti-bias curriculum, but they also gained essential self-awareness in diversity contexts.
