This paradigm-shifting webinar is a call to action for early educators. The presenters, all early childhood anti-bias educators and advocates, will help you examine the importance of having a critical analysis of racism and learn how to provide vital leadership that supports black and indigenous Families and children of color. Together, we will reflect on recent events related to injustice and the rally cry for change, and early childhood educators’ role in creating social change. The webinar will focus on strategies that will help you facilitate children’s awareness of human similarities, differences, and worth based on their observations of what is happening around them.

In this webinar:

• Learn about children’s development of racial identity and the intersectionality of their identities.
• Examine children’s development of attitudes toward themselves and others.
• Explore the importance of having critical conversations about police brutality.
• Understand the essential responsibility we have to develop and implement a plan of action in our programs.
