New Pub🚨 Our most recent #EMOTERS paper is out @AeraOpen
Tim Curby (@GeorgeMasonU), Emma Casey, Rachel Gordon (@NIUlive ) and I describe how emotion-focused teaching varies across #PreK activities. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Teachers naturally validate kid's emotions when in small groups, but meal times and transitions are underutilized for promoting children's emotional competence. #OpenAccess
Congratulations to PhD student @mayachondriaa who is presenting her thesis on predictors of #ece expulsion at @1NLPA in #PuertoRico this week.
Our ECRQ Special Issue "Advancing the science of early childhood expulsion prevention" is online and free for the next 50 days. It's been a true joy working with @AlysseLoomis and @IheomaIruka on this.
I'm going to post article highlights this week.
#ECRQ Special Issue article by @Annie_E_Davis ( @ChildTrends) and colleagues at @GUUCEDD & @ChildrensEquity built expert consensus through a Delphi study to define essential elements and activities of #IECMHC, a critical tool in preventing #ece
In another #ECRQ special issue article, Erin Tebben and colleagues from @NCHforDocs & @OhioState examined uptake of a statewide early childhood expulsion prevention program and make recommendations about hub and spoke service delivery to enhance usage across various #ece sectors.
#ECRQ Special Issue article by Pilar Alamos & @apwilliford describes a conceptual model of how #racism affects teacher-student interactions in #ece. Improving these interactions could hold the key to reducing discipline disparities. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thank you @RealTalkRJ for this engaging conversation with @theGRITprogram today about creating inclusive #ece spaces for children in Alberta. I'm especially grateful for Tiffany sharing the story of her family's trials and challenges. youtube.com/watch?v=uS04cMj4…
It's been a long hiatus and I'm still not loving a lot of things about this platform, but I want to lift up the important work of my community partners, #ece practitioners, collaborators, and students so....I guess I'm back.
It was a real pleasure to join @SashaAnnSimons on @WBEZreset to talk about the new bill requiring full-day kindergarten in Illinois. Efforts to support early learning in #childcare and #preK must be sustained through high-quality, play-based kindergarten.
Thank you @wtgrantfdn for generously funding our #MMR evaluation of #IL legislative efforts to end inequitable school discipline! Our multi-disciplinary team aims to uncover success stories from districts state-wide. Co-PIs: @docjshaw & Ryne Estabrook @UICnews @UICPsychology
Congrat to our 6 newest grantees who have been awarded research grants to build theory & evidence about ways to reduce inequality in youth outcomes. Research includes reparations for Native Americans, housing, disabilities, racial equity, & education. wtgrantfoundation.org/six-ne…
We're also thrilled to be building on partnerships with @ISBEnews @StartEarlyorg @FightCrimeIL and @latinopolicy who will advise this work.
So proud of our @cmain821 !!
HAPPENING NOW | Joint Committee Subject Matter Hearing on the Early Childhood Workforce. Tune in: ilga.gov/houseaudvid.asp# per usual the #ECECommunity is showing up & showing out! @UIC_CollegeofEd’s Cathy Main said it best, “We need a systemic shift, but also a shift in values.”
