NRCEC will feature research from the Child Trends report, Mary Pauper: A Historical Exploration of Early Care and Education Compensation, Policy, and Solutions. The report, commissioned by Early Educator Investment Collaborative in 2021, maps the history of systemic racism in the U.S. and how it has influenced early childhood education policy and practice. One of the report's authors, Dr. Chrishana M. Lloyd, will participate in this opening plenary session.
