conference
Session Description & Objectives:
Children are curious. They notice and talk about race as early as 2.5 years old.
Discussing race with young children may feel uncomfortable or even challenging — but it’s not only possible, it’s essential. When adults support students in exploring race and identity in age-appropriate ways, we help them build empathy, connection, and the ability and confidence to stand up to injustices and work towards a more inclusive future.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to bring a positive, affirming lens on race into your classroom and school community. You’ll gain practical tools, language, and strategies to strengthen your own racial literacy — and support your students’ identity development and sense of belonging.
Together, we’ll explore:
- How young children perceive and talk about race
- How to respond to questions, comments, and behaviors with care and clarity
- What race is (and isn’t) — and why developing racial literacy matters in education
- How identity and belonging are shaped by race — backed by neuroscience and lived experience
- Tangible classroom strategies and resources to interrupt bias and nurture inclusion
