Delivering on the Promise of Effective Early Childhood Education for Black Children: Eliminating Exclusionary Discipline and Concentrating on Inclusion The authors of this new resource, Cemeré James and Iheoma Iruka, have very skillfully woven solid evidence together with specific practices that can be used to prepare early childhood professionals to support the full participation of black children and their families. Recommendations are organized thematically (e.g., culturally-responsive practice, high expectations of children, developmentally appropriate pedagogy with positive guidance) with specific examples provided for implementation at child/family, classroom, program, and system levels.
