Infos

Antiracism and cultural competence, when incorporated into early childhood education, can powerfully impact young children’s social and emotional development. Authors Christine Mason, Randy Ross, Orinthia Harris, and Jillayne Flanders guide leaders in cultivating compassion and equity in their school communities. Explore reflective practices with questions and activities based on fifteen principles to address inequities affecting students, staff, and families.

This book will help preK–3 leaders and childcare center directors:

• Cultivate antiracism and cultural competence with visioning, action planning, targeted professional development, and curricula that support equity and justice


• Address implicit bias, even in the midst of dissension among staff and families


• Develop an antiracist, culturally competent school climate


• Deepen their own knowledge and understanding of chapter content using reflection questions and activities


• Reduce inequities leading to the preschool-to-prison pipeline
