Partner With Us – Equity Research Coalition

Partner with us in pursuing strengths-based data that can inform and impact practices, policies, and programs aimed at protecting, promoting, and preserving the health, economic security, and cultural excellence of Black and other minoritized children and their families.

“We must recognize how often the field of early childhood education has considered issues of child readiness, family, classroom environments, and quality measures through white perspectives. When voices of color are excluded from research and data collection, both in terms of study participants and research collaborations, the policies that are informed by that research are not only unhelpful to those children, but they also can actively work against them and create more inequity.”
