Building Father-Friendly Early Childhood Programs: From Barriers to Bridges (edWeb) Online
Join Dr. Jawan Burwell for an engaging edWebinar focused on strengthening father engagement and building inclusive partnerships in early childhood education. Based on insights from his upcoming book, Engaging Fathers: Strategies for Inclusive Family Partnerships in Early Childhood, this session explores the critical role fathers play in children’s learning and development while addressing barriers that often prevent fathers—particularly Black fathers and other fathers of color—from feeling welcomed and valued in early childhood settings. Attendees will gain practical strategies for creating father-friendly environments, fostering authentic family partnerships, and challenging assumptions that may unintentionally limit engagement opportunities. The presentation will also highlight ways educators and administrators can examine policies, communication practices, and classroom culture to ensure all caregivers feel represented and included. Attendees will leave with actionable tools that can immediately be implemented within programs and classrooms. This edWebinar is ideal for educators, administrators, family engagement professionals, and higher education students seeking to build more inclusive early learning communities.
