Series Overview
ACSES Introductory Series: How to Create Equitable Classrooms Using the ACSES Framework – Racial equity is essential to high-quality early learning. When Black and Brown children experience teaching practices that are not equitable and responsive to their culture, there is a lasting, negative impact on their educational outcomes.
What do inequitable teaching practices look like in the classroom? It can include:
- Unfair use of discipline
- Lack of understanding and openness to expression of different cultures
- Behaviors and language that favor one race over another – even when unintentional
- Unevenly or under-prepared teaching staff
The ACSES Framework, developed by Stephanie Curenton, Ph.D., is a research-based approach that helps educators increase their understanding of racial equity and build positive teaching practices and learning environments that value and empower all children.
This fall, Start Early presents an exclusive, six-part webinar series in partnership with Dr. Curenton to introduce early childhood system leaders, administrators, and teachers to sociocultural equity and the ACSES Framework. Participants will build essential, practical skills that can increase equity in their classrooms and improve long-term outcomes for all children. Spanish interpretation will be available for live sessions and recordings. Earn CEUs or count webinars (sessions) towards your CDA.
