New Live Series: Embracing ECEC Values as Resistance
Update: For today, the live will only be on my Facebook page!
I shared my recently published research article on moral injury among teachers (please click the link to read it). In my free workshop, I offered four pathways for moving forward, because though there are no quick fixes, there is a framework for thinking about recovery, resistance, and remoralization.
The first pathway is Resistance as Moral Repair. Teachers have always resisted. We saw it in the #RedForEd strikes of 2018, when teachers in red states walked out of their classrooms and refused to accept the conditions being imposed on them. We saw it during the pandemic, when teachers came together to support their colleagues, their communities, and their students in ways that their institutions failed to do. We see it every day in classrooms where teachers close their doors and teach with the freedom, joy, and integrity that their children deserve, even when the system says otherwise.
One way for teachers to engage in resistance as moral repair is to embrace professional values of early childhood education and care. When we lean into our values, we develop a philosophy that clearly articulates what we know young children need and bolsters our commitment to enacting those values every day. Embracing ECEC values as resistance is a framework that I use to ensure that I work in alignment with what I know is right. It is how I repair the moral injury from being required to engage in practices and policies that are not based in child development. To read more about my ECEC values, check out my latest blog.
To support you in repairing the harm from Moral Injury, I’m launching a new Live Series: Embracing ECEC Values as Resistance. Each Wednesday at 6 pm EDT/3 pm PDT, I will go live on Facebook to share my professional ECEC values and my framework for embracing them as a form of resistance.
To join my first live discussions, simply go to my Facebook page and on Wednesday, May 6th at 6 pm EDT, click on Live. I look forward to discussing my values and sharing my framework with you!
