Review the unit readings
and resources, including the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct sections
I-1.8 and I-1.10 to learn about our responsibility as educators to teach
children the importance of respecting and valuing differences in
others. Children are naturally curious to learn about people who look or
act differently than they do. Therefore, the early childhood classroom
is an ideal place to teach them to understand and care about others so
they can become responsible global citizens.
In this video, two
teachers balance multiple ethnicities in their classroom. Pay attention
to how they work to make all students feel comfortable and at home in
the classroom, including students who do not speak English.
Describe
the creative strategies and activities the teachers in the video used to
make all students feel comfortable in the classroom. What strategies do
they use to include students who have low English language proficiency?
In your opinion, are the strategies effective in creating an
environment that supports the needs of all learners and build critical?
Why or why not?
Albert Einstein is famously observed that “the only
serious method of education is to be an example” and for adding “if you
can’t help it, be a warning example”. Reflecting on the first part of
his statement, describe how teachers’ own attitudes and values can be
reflected in the classroom. Share an example where you have observed or
experienced negative attitudes or lower expectations for some people
based on factors such as ethnicity, gender, or culture. What was the
impact on those involved, and what are the lessons of this “warning
example”?
With your peers, discuss strategies (other than the ones
used by the teachers in the video) to teach a class with many different
cultures represented. How would you apply these strategies using
creative activities? How does the teacher’s attitude positively or
negatively impact the environment in which these activities take place?
