Cultural competence is essential but not sufficient. Undoubtedly we need to have information about cultures that differ from our own, but this does not help us identify our own blindspots. Cultural humility is the lifelong journey of self reflection with the purpose of identifying and addressing one's biases so that we can provide culturally sensitive therapy.

Are We There Yet?: Moving the Field Toward Equity One Day at a Time *Keynote*

Tuesday September 17, 2024 4:30pm - 6:00pm CDT

Grand Ballroom C (General Sessions) - 1st fl

The Division for Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children is taking a stance at dismantling racism and advocating for equity and social justice in early childhood education. Addressing the impacts of systematic racism is critical in creating inclusive environments and equity for all infants, toddlers, young children, and their families, including those with disabilities. We will address policies that have impacted early childhood education and advocated or hindered inclusivity, equity, and social justice. In addition, early childhood educators must understand the history of these policies and how they have impacted minoritized and marginalized communities. By addressing these critical areas in the keynote, DEC can inspire early childhood educators to advocate for change, equity, and inclusivity as we work together to create and sustain equitable education systems for all young children.
