Approximately 45% of young black children in the United States
(under the age of six) live in poverty. It is well documented that
education and economic security are inextricably linked and that
early learning and early reading are undisputed contributors to a
successful education. This book presents both the challenges and
opportunities that exist for addressing the critical needs of black
children, who have been historically underserved in the U.S.
education system. This book explores the language, cognitive,
social-emotional, and health development of black children from
birth to age 8. The chapters approach this in three ways; first,
they tackle why it is problematic to only characterize Black
children's accomplishment in terms of "academic achievement."
Second, they discuss the importance of the home-school environment
connection. Lastly, they discuss the changes that need to be in
teacher preparation in order to ensure that the workforce can
practice racial equity in the classroom. These issues are woven
together by a call to close the education opportunity gap via
'equity adjustments' that can target educational and health
disparities facing the black community.
This timely book will help early care and education teachers,
leaders, administrators, coaches, and staff deliver on the promise
of high-quality education for all children. The authors provide
inspiration, practical tools, and resources through the antibias,
antiracist, culturally responsive practices framework (ABAR CRP).
This teacher-friendly text shows how to engage in self-inquiry and
evaluate current classroom practices while embedding new ones that
advance the learning and well-being of children, especially those
from minoritized and poor communities. Readers will find tools and
assessments to support the implementation of culturally grounded
practices that will improve outcomes for diverse children in early
childhood settings and systems. This book connects history to
current events, supports self-inquiry, encourages a shift in
mindset and, most importantly, offers guidance for creating
affirming and joyful spaces for young children to learn. Book
Features: "Design an Activity for Children" section asks teachers
to create a classroom activity incorporating the information they
have learned. "Discussions About Real-World Dilemmas" presents a
problem and asks readers to discuss how they would resolve it.
"Exercises That Promote Critical Reflection" encourage teachers to
think about how they are a product of the beliefs, values, and
social-political history of their cultural group. "What Would You
Do" reflective questions that help teachers to problem-solve how
they might react during difficult situations.
Classroom conversation plays an important role in the development
of children's language and reasoning skills. However, studies show
that classroom talk relies too much on directives and close-ended
questions. Conversation Compass provides many tools, including
converstaion maps and tracking forms, activities and reflection
questions, and more. Learn to adapt your classroom conversations to
meet the diverse needs of all the children you teach and set them
up for academic success.
