Helping Children Understand Race: Being “Colorblind” Is Not the Answer
LOCATION: Virtual
COST: $25.00
CONTACT: Quality & Training Department | 630-790-6600, Option 4 | Email
This training addresses the common misconceptions around talking with young children about race. Studies have shown that White parents often communicate to their children that “race doesn’t matter.” However, children of color learn very early on that race does matter in life. Racial differences, unfortunately, often equate to a lifetime of educational, legal, and health disparities that should not be ignored. Societal change requires us all to begin conversations about race with young children. Age appropriate honesty, transparency, and validation of experiences are a few of the tools presented here to help children process and understand racial differences.

In a 2014 survey conducted by the Early Learning Challenge Technical Assistance program, 30% of the challenges including children with disabilities into mainstream preschool programs were related to adult attitudes and beliefs. While including children with special needs and/or diagnoses in your classroom can be uniquely challenging at times, decades of research supports inclusive learning environments for the benefit of both children with unique needs and those who are typically developing. In this training participants will learn and discuss the myths around classroom inclusion and explore some ways to better connect and learn alongside young children with unique needs.
