About this session

Children bring a variety of cultural, linguistic, and social backgrounds to the classroom. To create a classroom that welcomes and respects all children's culture, values and beliefs, teachers need to consider this information when developing a curriculum that builds on the children's previous experiences. In this session we will explore the importance of teacher's self-awareness of their perspectives, values, and cultural practices and how those influence their teaching practices and views of others. This session will provide teachers with resources on first and future steps into implementing culturally responsive practices in their classroom. 

Intended Audience: Early Childhood Educators, School Representatives, Head Start Personnel
