The Brilliance and Importance of Affirming Black (English) Language in Early Childhood Education

The final webinar concludes the series by focusing on advocacy and policy pathways that support language-affirming systems. Participants will examine how Black (English) Language can be recognized within broader understandings of Dual Language Learners and why naming it as a rule-governed language matters for early childhood policy and practice.
This session offers practical insights for educators, administrators, and advocates supporting providers, children, and families who speak Black (English) Language—while contributing to inclusive policy conversations at the local, state, and national levels.
