The Handbook of Racial Equity in Early
by Jen Neitzel & Ebonyse Mead
The only handbook of its kind that takes a rigorous, in‐depth look at the historical roots of racial bias, this book goes beyond band‐aid approaches to equity and prioritizes real transformation and healing: of adults, communities, programs, systems, and children. Transform your practices and work for systemic change with this visionary guidebook, a comprehensive roadmap to promoting racial equity in early childhood education.
Achieving Equity and Justice in Education Through the Work of Systems Change
by Jen Neitzel
In this book, Dr. Neitzel contends that our nation is at a crossroads. Do we continue with the band aid approach to equity that is focused on implementing isolated intervention programs aimed at reducing the achievement gap? Or do we embrace systems change, which requires us to focus on disrupting the roots that are sustaining deep disparities between Black and White students?
Building Equitable Early Learning Programs
by Ebonyse Mead
Equity means individuals get what they need to succeed. As early childhood classrooms and programs become increasingly more culturally and linguistically diverse, educators need ideas for connecting with families to learn what children need. The more families are engaged, the better the outcomes for children.
Early childhood administrators and teachers can collaborate to create equitable and inclusive learning environments where children and families feel welcome. Building Equitable Early Learning Programs: A Social-Justice Approach gives educators the facts, examples, strategies, and approaches needed to create and sustain programs and practices that can best serve our communities.

SOME OF OUR
Testimonials
“The presenters were so knowledgeable and acknowledged that the content could be uncomfortable when talking about racism. I found the content to be very accessible.”
“It was intense, positive, but introspective work. I felt at once validated, challenged, and encouraged by the topics that were raised and hearing my coworkers’ opinions and experiences. It gave me great hope that we can indeed break down some of the barriers that keep us from speaking openly, honestly and from the same page about issues of racial justice in the workplace, not only for coworkers and ourselves but for the families and providers who use our services as well.”
“It had good definitions of common terms, was not off-putting and invited us to create a safe, non-threatening and non-judgmental space to speak freely about our experiences.”
