Alliance Equity Discussion - August 13 at 1 p.m.

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 has established a monthly, salon-style Equity Discussion Group via Zoom, and the next session is coming up on Friday, August 13 at 1:00 pm.

We are excited to announce that this session will be facilitated by Hannah Assefa who currently teaches kindergarten at Milton Elementary School and serves as a moderator for the Turrell Fund’s Early Learning and Development Exchange. 

We will be discussing the role of music in teaching children about diversity and inclusion and the Anti-Racist Guide for Educators that Hannah was inspired to create.
