Creating Culturally Responsive Early Childhood Programs: Hearing from Parents about what they want

Official Title An Examination of Culturally Responsive, Inclusive, and Socially Just Practices Parent Feedback

Purpose

The research study will examine parents’ - or a child’s primary caregiver - perspectives on an online professional development (PD) training for teachers, targeting early care and education (ECE) teachers’ use of culturally responsive, inclusive, and socially just practices. Parents of young children will be recruited to review the online PD course and complete surveys about the course. A subset of participants will participate in a focus group to share their feedback on the course.
