At the BU Center on the Ecology of Early Development, we believe in the tenacious and resilient spirit of Black children and their families. Our research serves to empower families and community members caring for Black children to advocate for the rights of their children.
OUR APPROACH
All of our programming and research falls into one of these four categories.
We conduct applied research using a strengths-based equity impact framework that examines young children’s positive growth and development within health, education, and community settings. |
We provide training, coaching, and systemic professional development plans focused on equity and anti-racist practices in health facilities, classrooms, and community organizations. |
We disseminate applied research that can be used in the design of policies, programs, and systemic practices that foster the healthy development and academic success of racially and ethnically diverse learners. |
We offer leadership opportunities grounded in culturally relevant, healing-focused coaching and training to a diverse group of scientists, practitioners, and teachers.
