Early childhood is the optimal time to introduce and reinforce prosocial attitudes and skills of acceptance, belonging, and community. Educators, at all levels, however, may be hesitant to directly engage in these conversations despite the importance of embedding these concepts within curricula and programing during this optimal time of learning. In this webinar, the presenters will offer methods on how to instill a sense of acceptance, belongingness, and community within planned learning experiences and conversations; demonstrate teaching strategies using classroom materials as a teaching and learning tool; share how educators can be intentional in the what, when, how, and why of the learning experiences and conversations held; provide participants with language to use with parents, colleagues, and administrators when describing the relevance and importance of engaging young children in learning about acceptance, belonging, and community. Webinar participants will acquire knowledge and skills to engage children in conversations about specific aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
