I have had the benefit of attending professional development sessions led by
Ijumaa Jordan and Megan Madison and agree with Meg that they do amazing work on anti bias and equity topics (and other ECE topics). These presenters' skill and knowledge were such that the difficult conversations were productive.
Here's Ijumaa's website https://ijumaajordan.com/ and here's Megan's https://meganpamelaruthmadison.wordpress.com/
Best wishes,
Peggy

Love to hear from anyone and will keep hoping for more replies. We have an awesome superintendent and he has made us all think.

Kathy.
I am going to make sure that Andrew Goff, our new co facilitator for the At-Risk and Special Needs Interest Forum sees your post. He is in the Aurora area, I believe. That is such a worthy topic.

We are a public school district serving 1200 students who are at risk or who have special needs. We are looking for a presenter to address how to ensure equity in preschool classrooms. This is for next school year and for 120 staff split into two groups. Let me know if you are one or know of one. Thanks!
