This conference will emphasize celebrating and cultivating the inherent potential within every child, especially through the lens of Afrocentric perspectives and values. It will recognize the unique contributions of Black educators in fostering this brilliance and provide a platform for discussing methods and strategies to highlight and nurture the diverse strengths of all children using the framework of NBCDI's Eight Essential Outcomes for Black Child Development.
This conference is intended for professionals who support families, professionals who support those who work with children, and professionals engaging in early care and education systems change. Although we greatly value direct service work with young children, such as teaching in early childhood education settings, the content is not focused on professional development to improve the practice of working directly with children rather than encouraging systems change that will make it easier for direct service providers to nurture the Afro-Genius in every child.
