AMAZEworks champions safety and belonging for all. We work to end bias, discrimination, mistreatment, and harassment by creating inclusive, equitable communities through our anti-bias curriculum, resources, consultation, and training. Using the framework of Anti-Bias Education, AMAZEworks programs foster healthy identity development and respect across differences of race/ethnicity, class, culture, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion/faith, and ability. We help children and adults develop the tools and skills to name and reject bias, prejudice, and stereotypes.
Our work lies at the intersection of social-emotional learning, culturally responsive teaching, and anti-bullying practices.
Students develop the capacity to thrive in today’s world because AMAZEworks guides educators to better support students in safely dealing with bias-based teasing, exclusion, and harassment through a preventive approach. With AMAZEworks early childhood, elementary, and secondary programs, children see themselves positively reflected in classroom materials and get a window into the lives of those who are different from them. They practice key social-emotional skills as they share stories, listen to new perspectives, engage in respectful discussions, and problem solve.
The literature- and video-based curricula empowers educators to have regular, intentional conversations with students on identity, differences, and bias. Through reflection and discussions that break the silence around identity-based mistreatment and bias, children make their environments inclusive of all differences, thereby increasing engagement and learning.
