Beyond the Talk: Creating Racial Equity in the Classroom

Explore this free professional learning session from the ACSES Framework Introductory Series to discover why racial equity is critical for positive child outcomes and how the ACSES Framework can help.

The ACSES Framework Introductory Series is a six-part professional learning series on building racially equitable early childhood learning environments. Watch the free opening session of the series in English & Spanish.

The researched-based ACSES Framework helps educators identify a wide range of conditions and behaviors that may lead to lower outcomes for students from diverse backgrounds. By responding to children’s particular needs, educators can create learning environments that value and empower children.

In the free introductory session, participants will learn about:

  • Why racial equity in education should matter
  • Disparities in the school experience for children of color versus that of their white peers
  • The ACSES Framework and how it’s designed to support the creation of racially equitable classrooms

ACSES aims to reduce racial bias, improve cultural sensitivity, and create conditions for optimal learning and development for ALL children, especially those who are diverse.
