Anti-bias
o I will make sure I have anti-bias books in the classroom. When I create my entomologist lab, I will have pictures of men,
women, and people of different colors.

o If children say something like, “you’re a girl, you can’t be a scientist.” I will respond by saying, “girls and boys can be
scientists”.
