Promoting equity in your
classroom is within your reach, and this on-demand mini-course will
give you some of the tools you need.
It focuses on what equity work can look like for
teachers working with children
ages 3 through 5 on a day-to-day basis in the classroom.
You will find
strategies and tips for how you can support the learning and development of
each and every child in your classroom through intentional play opportunities
and guided
instructional supports. The full scope of equity work cannot be
addressed in a single
module or book. Consider this just one resource on your
journey to teaching with an equity
lens. This module explores the six parts of
the book Each and Every Child: Teaching
Preschool
with an Equity Lens.
Wow Tasneem, these are very helpful articles in terms of equity. I believe that the amount of expectations of early childhood educators will be reflected in the compensation for educators. As it stands, it may be unreasonable for some to expend time and resources in outreach participation.

ReplyDeleteHi Tasneem, thank you so much for sharing these insightful resources. One that really stood out to me was the impact COVID 19 had for families in the headstart community. I think it is very important to see and be knowledgeable of what is going on in the home lives of your students so that educators know what kind of extra support and nurture their students need.
Hi Tasneem, I have always felt that early childhood teachers do not make enough money for the amount of hard work they do. According to society, early childhood teachers are "Glorified babysitters." But, early childhood education is pushed so hard that children need it before entering kindergarten, but the teachers are still not considered "real" teachers. It really upsets me and has been something I have advocated for when we hire new teachers at my building, no matter their color or race. If they are qualified, they deserve what they deserve.
ReplyDeleteTasneem, thank you for those great article. I really agree with the article " Seeking Equity in Early Childhood Education. Most early childhood teachers work hard at providing an environment that is cohesive for learning yet they are unpaid with little or no benefits. In my program I think we actually work harder than public teachers with trainings every Wednesday, having to provide evidence of learning,and communication with parents daily.
ReplyDeleteHi Tasneem,
ReplyDeleteYour blog always provide helpful resources in early childhood education, NAEYC is one of my favorite website that I can seek accurate information to deepen my knowledge in equity of early childhood education and how to support children's development and learning.
Thank you for sharing these incredible resources,

Hi Tasneem,
ReplyDeleteYour blog was very informative. I really like reading the article Seeking Equity Early Childhood Education. From that article I didn't realize that women of color was paid lower in the field. I know childcare providers as a whole was underpaid and have high expectations for doing their job. Thanks for sharing, I gain new knowledge with your post.
