National Cohort: Supported by PNC Grow Up Great® and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Activate! National Early Childhood Advocacy Network brings BIPOC parenting adults and early childhood practitioners together to work on challenges in the early childhood (EC) field. The goal targets equity in areas most affecting underrepresented families farthest from opportunity. Led by national nonprofit organization the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL), the Activate! Network is recruiting 2–3 parenting adult and EC practitioner pairs from up to 10 different communities across the United States for its second cohort. Each pair (parenting adult and EC practitioner) will participate in network programming together. This is a fantastic opportunity for early childhood organizations who support parent and family leadership and are seeking to amplify parent voice in their work! Interested? Please watch our promo video here and in Spanish here. If you need more information, please email our program lead Patricia Bebe at pbebe@familieslearning.org to schedule a call, virtual meeting, webinar and learn more.

With financial support from the Kentucky Collaborative for Families and Schools, NCFL worked in partnership with Academy of Music Production Education and Development (AMPED) parents, and Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) to produce the Equity in Family Engagement Toolkit to support educators as they engage with families toward student learning and achievement outcomes. Captured throughout 12 parent meetings, family voice is interwoven throughout each of the seven modules—demonstrating an ongoing commitment to family partnerships and equitable learning spaces. The toolkit’s purpose is to provide educators with tools and strategies that promote equity and inclusion and allow all students to be seen, visible, and valued in their classrooms and schools. Kristen Whitaker and Dr. Stephanie White will share the Toolkit at the 2022 National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE) conference in December.
