Early Literacy in a Diverse Society
Over the past two years, a dedicated cohort of early childhood educators, including those in infant/toddler settings, Preschool, TK, Kindergarten, and family childcare, came together in a powerful learning series focused on advancing early literacy. The series emphasized Early Literacy in a Diverse Society, underscoring the importance of creating inclusive, culturally relevant practices for all children. Throughout the series, relationships, environments and parent engagement remained central, impacting 461 children and their families through intentional, inclusive, and joyful literacy practices. The following quotes reflect the valuable insights shared by participants in this work.
“I have learned... the importance of creating a classroom where all children feel represented, where their culture and language are valued, and they feel proud of their identity.”
“I have a vast array of strategies now. I was able to add to my literacy toolbox.”
“I've made new ... friends and strengthened my relationship with other teachers; I have learned from their experiences, and shared mine.”
