ECE 405 UOP Material ECE 405 Week 1 DQ 2 Children and Prejudice ECE 405 Week 2 DQ 1 Race Illusion vs. Reality Children and Prejudice. In Vivian Gussin Paley’s book, “You Can’t Say, You Can’t Play”, a hierarchy of “bosses” and “outcasts” emerges year after year in her classroom. What, in your experience with children, determines this hierarchy and how much of it is due to the development of pre-prejudicial behavior in children? Race: Illusion vs. Reality. Review the seven “propositions” including the accompanying videos on “Understanding the Influence of Race” (http://www.tolerance.org/tdsi/uir_intro). From these links and videos, you will learn that much of what we hold to be true about race is a social construction, which has little connection to human biology. Unfortunately this means children of different races may face stereotypes based on the way they look or speak.
ECE 405 UOP Material ECE 405 Week 2 DQ 2 Cultural Differences ECE 405 Week 2 Exposure to Stereotypes Cultural Differences. On page 64, your text offers a list of 13 childrearing patterns that differ between cultures. These can create challenges for educators when family structures and norms conflict with the assumed norms of the school. In the US, these are most often based on white, middle-class cultural assumptions. Provide an example from your own life or one in the media where these values have led to conflict or misunderstandings between the school and family. Exposure to Stereotypes. Children are bombarded by racial, cultural and gender stereotypes both within and outside the classroom. Consider the movies, television series and products (including toys and videogames), which are marketed to young children. Submit a 2-3 page paper (not including title and reference page) arguing why you believe the movie, television series or product chosen taints children’s understanding of race, culture, gender, and the message being conveyed.
ECE 405 UOP Material ECE 405 Week 3 DQ 1 Second Language Learners ECE 405 Week 3 DQ 2 The Role of Families and Communities in Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Education Second Language Learners. Imagine that you teach in a school where the majority of the student population is English speaking, and there is a growing a number of English language learners. You are assigned to a first-grade classroom where 60% of children speak English only and the other 40% speak mostly Spanish with varying levels of English. How will you approach and organize this classroom? What challenges do English language learners face? The Role of Families and Communities in Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Education. Often school attempts to connect with families fail. One reason is that schools assume the role of “educator” and expect families to go out of their way to learn how they can help modify family patterns to best suit the school environment. However, a more effective way to connect to families is for teachers to go out into the communities they serve and “learn” more about those communities.

Both your reading in Roots and Wings and the lessons from Vivian Gussin Paley’s book demonstrate that classroom environments give children and parents strong messages in the way they are set up and decorated. Identify and describe at least two ways you can structure and design the classroom environment to enhance anti-bias education and culturally relevant learning. Provide specific examples and respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. PowerPoint Presentation. You will create an 8-10 slide (not including the title and reference slide) presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Teachers can be genuine in their efforts to deliver a culturally-relevant and anti-bias curriculum, but still fail to produce a classroom where children are fully inclusive of others and prejudice-free. What criteria will be most important to you as you evaluate your literature selections and activities in the classroom for multicultural and anti-bias? Focus of the Final Paper: This paper should be a combination of philosophies, theories, and concepts learned and how they apply to the early childhood classroom. The primary focus will be on the comprehensiveness of understanding the many components that are necessary for the preschool classroom.
