S5.E9 - When is Kid's Month?: Rethinking Inclusion


Listen Later

This episode explores a powerful question posed by my six-year-old son: "When is Kid's Month?" This simple question sparks a deeper conversation about inclusion, representation, and the importance of valuing children's voices. Join me as I discuss how this question led to a critical examination of Women's History Month resources and a renewed commitment to creating a culture of inclusion that extends to everyone, regardless of age.

Key takeaways from this episode:

  • For Principals:
    • Foster a school-wide culture of inclusion that values all voices, regardless of age.
    • Support teachers in creating culturally responsive and age-inclusive learning environments.
    • Encourage the use of diverse resources that represent children and their contributions.
  • For Teachers:
    • Actively listen to and value children's perspectives.
    • Incorporate children's experiences and contributions into your lessons.
    • Audit your resources to ensure they are age-inclusive and reflect diverse experiences.
    • Create a classroom environment where all children feel safe, seen and loved.
  • For Students:
    • Your voice matters! Don't be afraid to ask questions and share your ideas.
    • Celebrate your own achievements and the achievements of your peers.
    • Be kind and inclusive to everyone, regardless of their age or background.
    • Learn about people who are different than you.
