Early Childhood Professionals

As educators aiming for inclusive practices in our classrooms, we cannot support and teach acceptance of neurodiversity without supporting and teaching acceptance of gender diversity. In this presentation, we will present data from ongoing research at the University of Washington about the intersection of autism, neurodiversity, and gender diversity.

This monthly series brings national authors and scholars into conversation with local leaders and students to discuss leading towards racial equity and justice in education. The series — organized as three two-part engagements — is designed to open conversations about the research and practice needed to catalyze change in the education field and on the ground. Each webinar will be followed by a discussion co-facilitated by local leaders and graduates of our leadership programs.

Are there children in your classroom who are not making progress on their goals and objectives? Are you wondering how to provide instruction on children’s goals within the context of the existing routines and activities in your program? Have you implemented curriculum modifications and some children are still not making progress? Join us for the second series in our Building Blocks webinar, on Embedded Learning Opportunities.

The National SEED Project partners with communities, organizations, and institutions to build capacity for change toward educational equity and social justice. In this session, we will explore what it means to believe that Black, Indigenous, & People of Color (BIPOC) wholeness and wellness are possible. We will self-reflect to cultivate our own stories. We will share with one another in culturally-grounded and critically-conscious ways. We will dream about what it is that we individually and collectively might do to heal and rehumanize ourselves and our racial justice work moving forward.
