Abstract or Description

As a cultural curriculum theorist and early childhood teacher educator embarking on research around systemic racism and the institutionalization of whiteness in education and educational research, I am seeking to initiate and expand networks of scholars who might contribute to a deeper understanding of these issues. Therefore, in order to advance the understanding of this topic and promote future research around the emotional, social, and economic impacts of school discipline, the purpose of this informal roundtable discussion will be to explore the ways that early childhood disciplinary practices – including classroom management techniques, positive behavior intervention strategies, instructional models, and school-wide behavior policies – operate in ways that limit the educational opportunities of young children of color.
