New Race Matters series starting

Back by popular demand...participants will engage in a series of modules (12 hours) related to racial equity and tolerance in the early childhood education classroom. Participants will identify specific strategies to address race and culture and impact classroom behaviors and environment. Content includes an historical perspective of race; how young children develop racial identity, awareness and attitudes and the impact on their learning and development. Additionally, content will address strategies for having substantial conversations with peers, families and children about race to support respect and equality.

The orientation is optional but participants must attend both sessions of the series, April 7 and April 21, to receive 12 hours of PQAS credit. No partial credit will be given.
