This course, designed by educators for educators, offers early childhood educators—be they teachers, caregivers, or community based program staff—resources, knowledge, mindsets, and skills necessary to nurture the talent and develop the gifts of young children new to the United States and/or from refugee/immigrant families.

In this course, comprised of 7 modules, educators will have the opportunity to:

deepen their understanding of displacement & refugee resettlement
develop tools to get to know refugee, immigrant, and newcomer children
consider approaches for engaging and including caregivers in early childhood education settings
cultivate culturally relevant and sustaining practices for early childhood
integrate SEL, trauma-informed, and asset-based practices
develop curriculum & enhance instructional strategies for the early childhood classroom

As part of a dynamic cohort of early childhood educators from across the United States, you will have an opportunity to dialogue with others, learn about different program models, and co-develop resources and lessons for use in your local context.
