About RECE

Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Education (RECE) is dedicated to facilitating exchanges about work that challenge mainstream ideas regarding how young children learn and grow.

RECE Graduate Research Circle:

An invitation for recent postgraduate and graduate students to further connect and create a community within Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Education (RECE) inspired by the Vancouver RECE conference.

Greetings,

We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who has attended our Reconceptualizing Graduate Research Circle (RGRC) in the past few months. We have successfully held three circles so far, in November 2022, and January and March 2023. We have also received numerous emails expressing interest from many of you. We are in the early stages of establishing ourselves and embarking on this exciting global RGRC journey. Please join us for our next circle Wednesday, May 24th, 2023. 
11:00 am Vancouver PST. Zoom Meeting ID: 618 4064 4057 Passcode: 574118

We are thrilled to announce that we have an exciting opportunity ahead.  


Scholarly Writing 

How can we initiate our thought process regarding pedagogy? We want to extend an open invitation to all participants of the RGRC to come together and collaborate in establishing a foundation for this discussion. Let us leverage our diverse knowledge systems to foster an evolving unity of various approaches to teaching and learning within our profession worldwide. 

Contact us via email: recegraduatecircle@gmail.com


Warmest wishes,

RECE Steering Committee

Standing in Solidarity with US Early Childhood Educators against Racism and Heterosexism

As a global organization reflecting diverse cultural experiences of children and families, Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Education (RECE) members honor a wide range of ways of knowing and  realize a fundamental commitment to social justice in all their activities (https://receinternational.org/about/). We decry policies and actions in the US and elsewhere that protect white privilege and heteronormativity, and perpetuate multiple forms of oppression. We also note with alarm the growing attacks on freedom of thought and expression affecting children, educators, and families. RECE, as an organization, also decries any efforts to turn back the clock by denial of curriculum and practices that teach accurate US history, reflect and honor the diversity of children and families, and work toward equity and inclusion, rather than exclusion, in education.
