How to address diversity in Early Childhood Education
Class, my research will focus on improving strategies to include diverse children in the Head Start learning environment. I chose this topic for research because the demographics in my area are changing. There are more diverse families in need of education. As a result, teachers need to be able to design assessments that accurately measure student performance. I have seen a lot of Hispanic children labeled with learning disorders when they actually have cutlural and language barriers. Therefore, the goal of my research is to address this issue and to improve learning for all children.
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteDuring our Trends and Issues class, I interviewed a district ELL teacher who talked about the frustration and time involved in assessing English Language Learners. I will be interested to see what your research uncovers. This ELL teacher I referred to is a friend of mine so I can share your findings with her!
Tammy, I think that is a great topic. The Head Start Program is a great resource but only if its effectively implemented. I teach in a middle school that has a very high hispanic population. I agree with your rationale.
