This training will focus around the book Courageous Leadership in Early Childhood Education: Taking a Stand for Social Justice, by Long, Souto-Manning, & Vasquez, editors. This training is mainly discussion based, with learners focusing on 2 chapters per session (to be determined by the group prior to each session). Participants will be asked to reflect on 4 questions during the 1st session to help me assess their comfort/knowledge/experience level in talking about social justice/equity issues; These questions are: 

• What are you looking for in this training series? 

• How can I help make this series meaningful for you? 

• Have you done any work on equity or social justice before now? 

• What is your comfort level about discussing topics of race, bias, and inequities? 

My hope is that the group develops into a safe space to discuss issues of social justice for participants own personal development/growth, as well as in their professional roles in early learning environments.
