ECE 203 - Family-School-Community Diversity

Semester Hours: 3

This course will focus on understanding how families and communities are significant contexts for children’s development and school success. Based upon these insights, students will collaboratively explore ways to build bridges of understanding between diverse schools, families, and communities. Student engagement with diverse families as field experiences will allow the student to critically reflect on a family’s funds of knowledge considering different cultural ways of knowing. The students will use these discoveries to develop culturally responsive explorations for their future classrooms. PDE Stage 1 - Observation: 05-10 hours.
