Many people don’t realize public schools are more segregated today than they were during the civil rights movement. They don’t realize integration is not a bygone fight but a pressing issue of this very moment. But if we don’t even acknowledge that integration is needed today, how can we understand what integration really is? Is integration simply making a perfectly balanced pie chart? Is integration really just hitting the right quotas and percentages? Or is it something more? To be fair, percentages and pie charts are part of integration, but they’re far from the full picture. So what is the full picture? What is genuine integration to you? In your own words and from your personal perspective, what does genuine integration look like? How do you know it when you see it? And how do you tell it apart from virtue signaling and half-hearted integration efforts? Let us know in the comments!! ... #IntegratedSchools #BlackandWhite #Interracial #Multiracial #Identity #CivilRightsMovement #HumanRights #AntiRacism #DeSegregation #WealthEquity #DiversityandInclusion #inclusion #community #redlining #diversity #socialjustice #socialjusticeeducation #wealthgap #local #publicschools #parenting #parent #momlife #dadlife #boymom #girlmom #schoolchoice #privateschool #publicschool

"Your actions, big and small, are powerful in the life of EVERY child in your community." Seaseme Workshop has put together a "Room to Grow: Resources for Racial Justice" that classroom teachers and families can use to begin the conversations with young children. The resource allows adults to think about their own levels of comfort, and where they want to go in the development and support of children and families in their care! https://loom.ly/MrlGWuk Through the resource, you’ll discover ways to inspire little ones’ curiosity and wonder for the world around them by: 1️⃣Recognizing the important role that adults play in addressing race and racism with children 2️⃣Drawing upon families’ strengths 3️⃣Exploring ways to model kindness within communities. #Headstart #Headstartteacher #Headstartworks #Headstartprogram #EarlyHeadstart #EarlyChildhoodEducation #EarlyChildhood #getaheadstart #EarlyChildhoodeducator #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #EarlyChildhoodlearning #Ohio #Ohiogram #OhioEducation #OhioStrong #Ohiomade #UniteforHeadStart #NHSA #OhioHeadstart #OHSAI #FirstFiveYears

Many communities believe in the importance of #inclusion for #childrenwithdisabilities but have made little progress due to limited planning time or leaders’ lack of commitment and support. Coordinating across systems is complex, so fostering relationships between early childhood system leaders and providers requires an ongoing commitment and a willingness to build systems by aligning policies and practices, providing dedicated funding and resources for inclusion, and enabling structures for educators and providers to implement evidence-based inclusive practices. Systems and providers should also commit to building strong #partnerships with communities and families and kinship caregivers—children’s first and most important teachers and advocates. #inclusionmatters
