Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday! This year, our goal is to raise at least $10,000 to support the Christopher Brown CEC Ignite Grant Program. This grant provides an opportunity for ACPE centers to launch new CEC Programs that either train Certified Educator Candidates from historically underrepresented populations or serve in historically underrepresented communities.
The Christopher Brown CEC Ignite Grant Program is named in loving memory of an ACPE Certified Educator who was passionate about justice, diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility within ACPE's Certification process, and who helped to craft the CEC Ignite Grants Program as one of his last service opportunities to our Association.

The Anti-Bias Working Group, called into being just as COVID erupted, has been working between weekly Zoom meetings ever since. Our retreat over Halloween weekend was our full gathering in real life, and we all felt the odd mix of shyness and history, grief and gratitude that marks coming back into embodied community. It is this community we long for: the Real Life we want to share, to do the deeper work of unlocking and undoing bias.

As we approach the holiday season and I welcome my family into the US, I ponder about the meaning of various holidays that are not necessarily celebrated in our home and those that we celebrate. This is my family’s first Thanksgiving in the US and it is unlikely that we will cook the traditional meal of said holiday. We will mark a year of gratitude for the joy of being together, but the spirit of what this... Read More | | |
