Promoting Social Inclusion and Respect for Diversity in Early Childhood: Project Description

Romero, Mariajose

This study is a two-year action research project that addresses a central challenge: What do we know about strategies for promoting social inclusion and respect for diversity (SI & RD) in early childhood education environments? The project is designed to examine the efficacy of four integrated strategies to promote greater attention to issues of SI & RD in early childhood in the U.S.: the development of regional coalitions; the mobilization of national organizations and stakeholders; the synthesis and translation of research-based knowledge about core questions on promoting SI & RD in early childhood; and a cost-effective, web-based dissemination strategy.
