- Shifting Native Early Childhood Education: Toward Justice and Inclusive Family Engagement at the Earliest Levels of Education
- Abstract/Description
- National focus on early childhood educational opportunities has increased exponentially with President Obama’s Universal Preschool Initiative, Clinton’s Too Small to Fail Initiative, and many more National foundations’ focus on early childhood outcomes. How these national discussions impact Native communities and their unique approaches to strengthen early childhood education is under-researched. This interactive symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of Native scholars to examine the current status of early childhood education and family engagement. The ground upon which Native education is operating is shifting once again, and this session illuminate lessons learned about inclusive family engagement at early childhood education levels – with the goal to generate discussions about family empowerment and the role research can enhance Indigenous early childhood education.
