Event Registration

Children in early childhood programs are suspended and expelled at more than three times the rate of those in grades K-12. Black boys are suspended and expelled at a disproportionate rate of 46% — despite the fact that they make up only 18% of the preschool population.

Early childhood programs that utilize culturally responsive practice have the opportunity to make lifelong impacts on the children in their care. During this learning community, participants will examine the research for culturally responsive practices in early childhood programs and how they can support leaders, educators, families and children. We will also examine key features of anti-bias education and its impact in building relationships.

During this three-part Learning Community, leaders will be provided with materials to review for each session.
