ECE108 Cultural and Linguistic Diversity
This course introduces strategies for addressing the needs of early childhood students from diverse backgrounds. Observing and interviewing early childhood students is an approach to understanding their behavior, learning, and development and allows teachers to make connections to the work of major developmental theorists and educational researchers. Understanding the background of students allows for effective teaching and learning. This course provides practical tips for incorporating observations and interviews of early childhood students into education professionals’ busy schedules, and discusses the analysis of observational data and its uses for guiding educational practices (e.g. learning activities, cooperative grouping, and parent conferences).
