EmbraceRace's Early Childhood Community
About
EmbraceRace offers two types of community learning spaces for caregivers, with each space focused on a particular topic relevant to caregiver roles in children's racial learning journeys.
Foundations classes are designed for caregivers who are at the beginning of their racial journeys or looking to fill in gaps in their racial knowledge. Participants receive teaching and training, opportunities to learn and practice new skills, and time to share and ask questions in small groups.
Communities of Learning and Practice (COLPs) are cohorts designed for caregivers interested in discussion-oriented learning. Caregivers participate in facilitator-led discussions, supplemented by EmbraceRace webinars, mini-modules, action guides, and other external resources. Participants have opportunities to share personal experiences, ask questions, and learn from other cohort members.
Foundations and COLP cycles start several times a year and meet for five 90-minute sessions, held every other week.
