Illinois - At third grade 40% of students from
low-income families meet state standards
compared to 75% of their peers. By 11th grade
20% of low-income students meet high school
math standards compared to 65% of their
classmates.

Before entering kindergarten, the average cognitive scores of preschool-age children in the highest socio-economic group are 60% above the average scores of children in the lowest socioeconomic group.
Disparities in child outcomes between poor, at-risk, and more advantaged children are evident in cognitive, social, behavioral, and health outcomes as early as 9 months and grow larger by 24 months of age.

Nationally• 25% of black males repeated a grade in school, compared to 11%
of white males. Note that this does not include those who dropped out.
• 50% of black males grades 6 to 12 have been suspended, compared to 21% of white males. 17% of black males have been expelled, compared to 1% of white males.
![Page 12: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nearly seven out of every 1,000 pre-kindergarteners are expelled each year—an
estimated 5,117 preschoolers in all. The rate is 3.2 times higher
than the national expulsion rate for children in grades K-12.
Boys are expelled 4.5 times more than girls; and African-Americans are
twice as likely to be expelled as Latino and Caucasian kids and
more than five times as likely asAsian-American kids.

Dual language learners are heavily overrepresented among low-achieving students (within the bottom 5% – 25% of the achievement distribution) and severely underrepresented among high achievers (within the top 5% - 25% of the achievement distribution).

“Teachers try to do their best to treat everybody the same, although there is a certain difference in how much attention they give you, and, in a way, how much they care about you” . . . “Some teachers care a lot but others are like, typical ‘they’re not going anywhere, so let’s care about the ones that are going to make a difference in our future.’”

Children form academic trajectories early in their school careers that tend to be stable and difficult
to change over the course of their schooling
Children’s negative perceptions of competence and attitudes become stronger and harder to reverse as children progress through school
![Page 18: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Illinois - Just over 50% of 3-5
year olds with identified
disabilities are served in
early childhood settings
![Page 19: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Research suggests that both preservice and
inservice EC teacher preparation have failed to
prepare educators who can effectively teach
children for whom English is a new language
or second dialect, children of color, children of
diverse abilities, and children from
economically marginalized communities

A recent study revealed that only 2 states include measures of cultural or linguistic competency of child care programs in their QRIS and these measures sometimes only apply to programs at the highest quality rating.

I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy. I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.

High-quality, culturally responsive early learning environments are critical to closing the achievement gap between children living in poverty, especially children of color, and their peers.
The Difference You Can Make
![Page 24: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Quality inclusion can benefit children with and without disabilities, particularly in social competence with peers.
![Page 25: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Higher preschool performance and promotion to next grade
• More positive engagement with peers, adults, and learning
• Buffers negative impact of poverty on academic and behavioral outcomes
The Difference You Can Make Through Family Engagement

Culturally responsive interactions between personnel and youngchildren are more likely to support progress toward children’s mastery of language, literacy, science, and math skills

An effective teacher can have a stronger influence on student achievement than
poverty, language background, class size, and minority status

New NAEYC Standards for Professional Preparation Programs
Significant Changes in the 2009 StandardsThe language all children is revised to read each child or every child to strengthen the integration of inclusion and diversity as threads across all standards. In some cases, the phrase “each child” has been added to a key element of a standard.

A Framework for Intentionality
![Page 32: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ask yourself. . .
Do your efforts have an explicit and intentional emphasis on young children who are culturally diverse (includes racial, ethnic, socio-economic, and other aspects of diversity)? On young children who are dual language learners? On young children with disabilities and inclusion?
Do you have agreed upon definitions of key terms to use in your work (e.g., cultural competence, inclusion)?
Do you have guiding principles to underscore your shared commitment to families in all aspects of your work?
Have they been developed collaboratively with families?
![Page 33: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Ask yourself. . .
Have you incorporated an explicit and intentional emphasis on authentically engaging families who are culturally and linguistically diverse? Are you also engaging families who have children with disabilities?
Is communication with family members shaping the quality of your work?
Are family members helping you to intentionally and effectively support practices that connect home cultures and experiences to their learning?
![Page 34: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Ask yourself. . .
Are you intentionally and effectively supporting practices that connect children’s cultures and experiences to their learning?
Are you shaping teachers’ personal capacities and attitudes to support each child’s achievement?
Do program characteristics (e.g., teacher-child ratios, time for small groups or one-on-one interactions, materials in multiple languages) support individual children?
Do environments authentically reflect the children, families, and communities you serve?
![Page 35: The Real Early Learning Challenge Meeting the Needs of Each and Every Child](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56815f30550346895dcdfe82/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Ask yourself. . .
Do early childhood professionals have a strong knowledge base about evidence-based practices for supporting young children who are culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse?
Have you identified specific competencies related to evidence-based practices for supporting young children who are culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse and their families?
Do you have explicit requirements for early childhood professionals in developing their capacity to support young children who are culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse?
Are you using intentional strategies to increase the diversity of the individuals who work with young children?
