SUMMARY:The Brilliance and Importance of Affirming Black (English) Language in Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:The second webinar deepens the series by examining the historical roots of Black (English) Language and its connection to early literacy development. Centering community knowledge and parent–child relationships\, this session highlights how honoring home language is grounded in the wisdom of families and cultural insiders and shapes how young children come to understand language and learning. \nJoin us for a dynamic conversation with a special guest speaker\, moderated by Dr. Ash from Black Californians United for Early Care and Education (BlackECE). The session will draw from family and community listening sessions to connect history\, language\, and literacy\, offering grounded insights that support language-affirming practice across early childhood settings.

SUMMARY:The Brilliance and Importance of Affirming Black (English) Language in Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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.
