This webinar was great to listen to because it very much relates to what I am learning in a class this year. A teacher who teaches you children is responsible for many things but it is very important to make children feel safe and model behaviors and attitudes for them. There will be many students that come into in my classroom and it is important for me not to have any bias toward any race. If I were an individual who had biases I would have an uncomfortable environment for children because eventually biases show through actions. Children are very impressionable at a young age, which makes it necessary to model how to treat others. I feel passionate about showing children we should accept everyone because differences make us all special. Today in society differences are judged rather than praised. I will be able to take this webinar and show my future students we all play a part in society and does not matter if we are black, white, yellow, or red. We can work together as a whole and I want my classroom to be a community where we can discuss differences and share unique things about ourselves. This webinar helps me realize how impressionable children are and it is important to bring up heavy topics such as race because many times it will go undiscussed and children can learn wrong ways of how to treat others.
