Synopsis:
Build equitable early learning environments where every child belongs
Grounded in research and shaped by lived experience, this practical guide equips educators and leaders with the tools to create inclusive, high-quality early learning experiences for everyone. RISE and SHINE for Equity in Early Learning offers clear strategies to support equity-deserving children and families―including newcomers, racialized groups, LGBTQ2S+ communities, low-income families, and children with disabilities―in ways that benefit the whole early learning community.
Designed for early childhood educators, program leaders, curriculum developers, and policymakers, this resource helps turn equity principles into sustainable, real-world practices.

- Create responsive, inclusive classroom environments
- Support and collaborate with families and communities
- Embed equity into your everyday practice using the RISE professional learning modules
- Lead meaningful organizational change through the SHINE framework
- Reflect and practice with real-world examples, tools, and prompts
Whether you’re working in a classroom or leading system-wide change, RISE and SHINE for Equity in Early Learning equips you to break down systemic barriers and ensure every child can thrive.
