10 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education.
In this 10-hour course, we will focus on promoting acceptance of diversity and building community in the early childhood and school-age learning environments. As an early childhood educator, cultural competence affects the quality of care and service you provide to families. In culturally responsive caregiving, the educator redesigns teaching and learning so that families, children, and educators work with each other as partners to improve achievement. Culturally responsive caring is a moral imperative, a social responsibility. It requires that that you use knowledge and strategic thinking to decide how to act in the best interests of the children in your care. In order to build a genuine community of learners, you must believe in the potential of all children and accept responsibility to facilitate its realization without ignoring, demeaning, or neglecting children's ethnic and cultural identities.
