  • Collective orientation (promoting needs of the group versus promoting needs of the individual)
  • Time orientation

  • Perceptions and value of education
  • Priority of family
  • Communication (e.g., language development, verbal communication styles, nonverbal communication, physical proximity)
  • Value of work/Work ethic
  • Peer pressure
  • Assimilation dilemma: adaptation versus preservation

In addition, include specific advice to the teacher in your case study to help him or her respond more appropriately to the student/family.

Use at least 2-3 scholarly sources (other than the assigned readings) to justify your responses.

Content Review

Directions:

  • Respond to each item. Each response should be concise and between 2–3 paragraphs in length.
  • Use MS Word to write your responses, and submit your answers to all three questions in one Word document.
  • Copy and paste each question within the document, so that your Instructor can see which question you are responding to.
  1. “A basic tenet in the field of early care and education is that all children need to feel that their families are acceptable to their teachers” (Gonzalez-Mena, 2008, p. 11). Reflect on this statement as you review the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Code of Ethical Conduct statements presented on pages 11–12 of Diversity in Early Care and Education. Then, based on this code of conduct, synthesize the ethical responsibilities of a professional working with infants/toddlers and their families. Also explain why ignoring differences is not sufficient in light of these ethical responsibilities.
  2. In Diversity in Early Care and Education, Janet Gonzalez-Mena advocates for unity through diversity. Review the information presented on page 14, including Point to Ponder 1.3. Then, explain what the phrase unity through diversity means and how the metaphor of a tossed salad illustrates this concept. In your response, explain how the goal of unity through diversity relates to your own vision for yourself as a professional.
  3. In Diversity in Early Care and Education, Gonzalez-Mena comments that “knowing a person’s culture doesn’t mean you can predict their behavior” (2008, p. 17). Indeed, one of the challenges that infant/toddler professionals face is increasing their awareness of and sensitivity to culture without engaging in stereotyping. In your own words, define stereotype. Then, explain why it would be beneficial for an infant/toddler professional to learn about a family’s priorities and caregiving practices directly from the family members rather than relying on culturally-based assumptions. In your response, describe one or more examples that demonstrate some of the valuable information the infant/toddler professional could learn through observation and dialogue with a particular family.

Discussion: World View

The factors and forces that affect quality of life in the place you live may be woven into your lifestyle or culture to such a degree that they seem universal. For example, perhaps everyone in the place you live drives to work and everyone endures the same traffic congestion. Or, maybe you have lived your entire life in the same political and economic system. Perhaps you were surprised to learn that in other cities around the world, people with different income levels do not always settle in the same areas. In this week’s Discussion, you will compare the perception of quality of life in your own city to that of a different world city as related to a specific quality-of-life issue.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Read the articles listed in your Learning Resources.
  • Read the resources you chose using the guidelines provided in the “Student Contributed Resource Worksheet” document, located in this week’s Resources area. Use it as a reference in your initial post.
  • View the media piece Cities and Globalization.
  • Select a world city other than the city in which you live.

For this Discussion, your Instructor will either assign groups to threads or direct you to choose one thread from the choices listed this week.

If you are directed to choose a thread on your own, follow these instructions: Each thread is limited to a maximum number of students, based on class size. A thread will close if the limit is reached. If a thread is closed to new posters, select from the open threads. You will post both your initial post and your response post in the same thread.

By Day 3

Post a 250-word response in which you compare the perception of quality of life in your own city to that of your selected city as related to the issue of your thread:

  • Thread 1: Housing
  • Thread 2: Recreational Space
  • Thread 3: Transportation
  • Thread 4: Infrastructure

Note: Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.

How you can incorporate specific major principles, concepts, and learning theories into two different grade levels (K-5 and 6-8) of your future teaching practice.

How this matrix can serve as a guide in developing ways to meet the needs of exceptional students (learning differences, gifted students, and ELLs, etc.).

How the information on the different stages of child and adolescent development can be utilized to identify student strengths as a basis for growth, and their misconceptions as opportunities for learning.

Support your findings with a minimum of 3-5 scholarly resources.
