Parents and educators are encouraged to participate in a series of free webinars provided by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) that help to educate on the effects of prejudice and bullying on children.
The ADL belives that by educating parents and teachers about anti-hate values, children can be more educated and open-minded when it comes to living their lives. By learning about the difficulties schools face with religious holidays, the types of literature your children are reading, and how bullying affects kids in the electronic age, parents can help their children understand and comprehend the effects that prejudices have on their behavior.
The first webinar takes place on Wednesday, November 6, 2013, at 2 p.m. EST and is titled Using an Anti-Bias Lens to Examine Early Childhood Children's Books in Your Program. The second webinar takes place on Wednesday, November 20, 2013, at 4 p.m. EST and is titled Bullying on Campus in the Electronic Age.
Participate in the webinar series and view past webinars at www.adl.org/educationwebinars.
