New Book: NAEYC Captures What Equitable Learning Opportunities Look Like in Each and Every Child
Washington, D.C.-- The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) announces the publication of Each and Every Child: Teaching Preschool with an Equity Lens, edited by Susan Friedman, NAEYC’s senior director of publishing and professional learning and Alissa Mwenelupembe, children’s advocate and NAEYC Governing Board Member.
All educators have a part to play in advancing equity in early learning. This thoughtfully curated work provides concrete strategies and tips for implementing recommendations from NAEYC’s position statement “Advancing Equity in Early Childhood Education,” for educators who work with children ages 3 through 5.
Each and Every Child also has clear, actionable ties to NAEYC’s Early Learning Program Accreditation Standards, and reflection questions that invite readers to create and foster learning environments that promote equity for all.
A child’s starting point matters—such an insightful and compelling message begins the journey of unpacking implicit biases in the field of early childhood. If you have been looking for a guide that operationalizes equity and shifts it into the reality of practice, this is the book for you. This is a game changer for the field of early learning.
—Marquita F. Davis, Deputy Director of Early Learning, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Each and Every Child features diverse voices from the field, and explores diverse topics including:
- Children’s conversations about identity
- Preventing expulsion in preschool
- Examining our own biases and more
