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. The authors’ interpretation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs vis-à-vis supporting black children and families on page 17 is just one of the thoughtful and thought-provoking features of this document. Thank you to the National Black Child Development Institute for this resource! Document

Disability Etiquette This booklet is for anyone-with or without a disability-who wants to interact more effectively with people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 was conceived with the goal of integrating people with disabilities into all aspects of American life, particularly the workplace and the marketplace. Sensitivity toward people with disabilities is not only in the spirit of the ADA, it makes good business sense. It can help you expand your practice, better serve your customers or develop your audience. When supervisors and co-workers use disability etiquette, employees with disabilities feel more comfortable and work more productively. Practicing disability etiquette is an easy way to make people with disabilities feel welcome. You don't have to feel awkward when dealing with a person who has a disability. This booklet provides some basic tips for you to follow. And if you are ever unsure about what to do or say with a person who has a disability, just ask! This is available to download on the United Spinal Association website. Website
