After working in the field of early childhood education extensively, Jill McFarren Aviles and Erika Flores concluded that coaching educators from a holistic, culturally responsive, and strength-based perspective are three of the most powerful tools that will enhance the lives of young children and their families and contribute to equity in early childhood settings. Hear All Voices offers a culturally responsive framework that supports educators in understanding the importance of equity in their interactions with children and families. The framework focuses on implementing practical strategies that can help increase equity in early education through day-to-day interactions. Written as a guidebook to support early childhood coaches to get inspiration, knowledge, and tools as they guide teachers from diverse backgrounds in early childhood settings. This book weaves together the latest in the science of change, brain development, adult learning, and practical “how-to” to transfer this into practice.
