Erikson Institute is a premier graduate school that educates, inspires, and promotes leadership to serve the needs of children and families. Our Policy and Leadership Department believes that more systemic solutions will emerge when stakeholders have a deeper understanding about racial equity, the power of data and the early child-care and education system. The department developed workshops to share its universal principles of equity with a broader audience (beyond te early childhood field) of professionals advancing equity through their work.
