Our ECRQ Special Issue "Advancing the science of early childhood expulsion prevention" is online and free for the next 50 days. It's been a true joy working with @AlysseLoomis and @IheomaIruka on this.
I'm going to post article highlights this week.

#ECRQ Special Issue article by Pilar Alamos & @apwilliford describes a conceptual model of how #racism affects teacher-student interactions in #ece. Improving these interactions could hold the key to reducing discipline disparities. https://t.co/B5W7OXa55w

Touched down to a very warm welcome in #Edmonton for the Inclusion Summit on Early Learning and Care. Looking forward to speaking with the #ece professionals of Alberta over the next two days.

It's been a long hiatus and I'm still not loving a lot of things about this platform, but I want to lift up the important work of my community partners, #ece practitioners, collaborators, and students so....I guess I'm back.

[Dr. Kate Zinsser now @setllab.bsky.social @SETLLab]

It was a real pleasure to join @SashaAnnSimons on @WBEZreset to talk about the new bill requiring full-day kindergarten in Illinois. Efforts to support early learning in #childcare and #preK must be sustained through high-quality, play-based kindergarten.
