Camille Catlett, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Camille Catlett is a consultant based in Carrboro NC. In her years in the early childhood field, she has held positions in public school, professional association, federal government, and higher education settings, that ranged from providing direct service as a speech-language pathologist to directing multiple US Department of Education personnel preparation grants. Her work with talented partners on the Crosswalks project yielded a flexible and evidence-based model for increasing the emphasis on culture, race, and language in higher education courses, field experiences, and programs. That model was revised in 2009 to incorporate an emphasis on children with disabilities and inclusion, successfully replicated in community colleges in five states, and shared in the Blueprint document. Through technical assistance, research, presentations, writing, and product development, Camille is currently working with faculty and leaders in multiple states to incorporate an explicit and intentional emphasis on culture, equity, language, diversity, and inclusion in early childhood and early childhood special education coursework, field experiences, and program practices.
