Early Childhood Education (ECE) Equity: Unpacking Racial Injustice in ECE Access, Readiness, Relationships, and Disparities
Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 3, Room 306Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Solving issues of equity and inclusion in early education access, readiness, and teacher relationships is critical for supporting the development of all young children, especially marginalized youth of color. This symposium brings together four papers that use person-centered techniques (e.g., latent profile analysis) and qualitative approaches (culturally responsive focus groups) to explore historically marginalized, particularly Black students’ experiences in early education and promote solutions for justice. Authors analyze profiles of early care and education access, marginalized parents’ perspectives of school readiness, teacher attribution bias, and discrepant teacher-parent perceptions of Black girls’ social skills, all from critical theoretical frameworks in child development. In combination this symposium offers critical discussion on factors of equitable early education settings that support all students.
