Alliance Equity Discussion – Principles of Education Justice in ECE – 2/18

Join a group of peers and colleagues from the early childhood community to engage in sustained learning about anti-racism, equity, and inclusion. The Alliance hosts a monthly, salon-style Equity Discussion Group via Zoom, and the next session is coming up on Friday, February 18 at 1:00 pm.

We are excited to announce that this session will be facilitated by Kayla Arena-Giron and Alyssa Chen from the Education Justice Coalition of Vermont as well as Amanda Garcés from the Vermont Human Rights Commission. We will be discussing the principles of education justice, how to support these principles in the early childhood setting, and how to support education justice advocacy.

Please RSVP to Alliance Public Engagement Director Dan Brown at dan@vecaa.org. We hope to see you there!
