Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
The anti-bias movement challenges teachers to examine their beliefs and attitudes for bias and prejudice; helps teachers understand and accept the differences in children from cultures unlike their own; provides opportunities to work with parents of various religious and ethnic groups and learn something of their practices; enriches the curriculum; prevents harm to childrens self-concept; and promotes greater global understanding.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Important personal qualities for a teacher to possess are dedication, compassion, insight, flexibility, patience, energy, self-confidence, fair-mindedness, physical and mental health, responsibility, and reliability. They must be warm and loving, yet firm, and use their sense of humor wisely. Teachers should like children and feel that the job they are doing is important.
