Unconscious Bias in Early Childhood Education, with Kate Goodwin and Kate Jordan-Downs

Podcasts Aug 4, 2020

There’s an equity problem in early childhood education. Actually, at least a couple. The first one is that not every child has access to quality education, and it puts them way behind when starting elementary school. The second is that there is an unconscious bias that minority children face, specifically black boys, that shape the way that they’re treated and taught in school. Kate Goodwin and Kate Jordan-Downs are on a mission to fix these problems.
