Living and Learning in a World of Diversities

  • Preventing Violence and Beyond

    Toward the end of the Live Talk discussion program that opened EDC’s recent violence prevention summit, the audience of 200 people grew silent as Sha-King Graham, 17, spoke about the police officer who had killed his sister.

  • Twenty Years of Inclusion in the Head Start Classroom

    When Eleanore Grater Lewis began teaching, more than 40 years ago, it was very unusual to see a child with disabilities in a preschool classroom. “In those days, children with disabilities were largely excluded from any sort of preschool experience,” she explains. “Basically there were two options: Either they stayed home or they were institutionalized.”

  • Community-Based Education for Latina Women

    Today, thanks to the efforts of EDC, 20 Latina mothers from Waltham, Massachusetts, are enrolled in a class that offers them not only English language instruction but also lessons in job readiness, social skills, community action, health, and self-esteem.

  • Promoting Equity for Girls and Women

    After RAP, the longest-running EDC project comprises our largest body of equity work: the Women’s Educational Equity Act Resource Center (WEEA). For more than two decades, the WEEA Resource Center has developed, published, and distributed innovative, gender-fair materials to teachers and education leaders around the country.
