Segregation by Experience: Agency, Racism, and Learning in the Early Grades

This book is so important. It moves the conversation about racial achievement gaps and educational inequities from focusing on deficiencies in children and families to highlight the disparities in what children are offered in their early childhood classrooms. It's so refreshing to think with the authors about the ways that the educational system itself treats children of color differently from their white peers. And the study the authors share offers a glimpse into how education could be for children and families of color if they were offered agency in their learning.
