Hearing First
Executive Orders and Developmental Delay
"Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the provisions of Executive Orders 20-19, 20-82, 20-94, and 20-95 do not apply beyond the 2020-2021 school year, and the provisions of Executive Orders 20-19, 20-82, 20-94, and 20-95 do not apply to year-round schools beyond Sunday, June 13, 2021 at 11:59 pm. Effective on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at 11:59 pm, Executive Orders 20-19, 20-82, 20-94, and 20-95 are rescinded. The extension of Developmental Delay was intended only in situations where the district was unable to complete evaluations due to restrictions regarding face-to-face assessment or observations. If the re-evaluation could be completed, guidance stated that districts should proceed to make a new determination of eligibility. Students who did not meet eligibility criteria under a different disability category were to be exited from services at age 7. This guidance can be found in the Q&A: Extension of Developmental Delay to Age 9"

Anti-Bias Education in Action: The Early Years
The film, Reflecting on Anti-bias Education in Action: The Early Years (48 minutes), was created for early childhood educators to visualize what anti-bias education looks like in the classroom. The film addresses 4 areas of anti-bias education; identity, diversity, justice, and action. This approach involves critical thinking, risk-taking, and deep understanding of the complexity of the issues and your context. This film is a provocation to generate dialogue about how to bring the approach into your practice. To further this conversation there is a guidebook to provide additional resources and to pose questions for reflection.
