ECE 405 Week 1 Discussion Teaching Respect for
Cultural Diversity NEW
Teaching Respect for Cultural Diversity. 1st Post
Due by Day 3. Early childhood classrooms in the
United States are filled with culturally diverse
students. As an early childhood educator, you
can help prepare this future generation of
children to succeed in school. Chapter 1 of the
textbook describes different strategies
educators can use to support children in their
classroom success.
After reading Chapter 1, create a poster
showcasing five strategies that early childhood

educators can utilize in the classroom to foster
success. The poster should include an
explanation of each strategy and how it will
enhance your teaching in the classroom. Your
strategies should be supported by details that
are factual, relevant, and credible. Be as creative
as you wish with your poster using pictures and
visuals. You may choose to create your poster
using Microsoft Word, or a similar program.
Guided Response: Review the strategies of
several peers’ posters. Discuss which strategy
you feel would have the most impact on school
success and which strategy would have the least
impact. Explain your thinking.

words to describe these images and this
collection?
As you look through these photographs, what
emotions are you feeling?
What thoughts do you have?

ECE 405 Week 2 Discussion Culturally Relevant
and Anti-Bias Classroom NEW
Teachers can be genuine in their efforts to
design and provide a culturally relevant and
anti-bias classroom, but they can still fail to
foster an environment in which children are
fully inclusive of others and free of prejudice.
Our classrooms are filled with children and
families from a variety of cultures and
backgrounds. Imagine you are an early
childhood educator who has received the
surveys noted below from your families. After
you read through the surveys (available in your

online course), select one family that you want to
use for this discussion.
Survey Child #1
Survey Child #2
Survey Child #3
Survey Child #4
Write a transcript for a parent-teacher
conference that you might have with this family
based on facts you learned about them from the
survey. Develop five questions that the
parent/family member might ask you about your
classroom during a conference. Each question
should include a fact from the survey. For
example, a family might ask you, “What
resources are available to help my child learn
English?” or “How can I help support my child at
home since I work during the day?”
Then, develop responses to address their
questions. Be sure to include a specific example
of how you will do this in the classroom and
provide support from the textbook. Your
discussion will be submitted in question-and-
answer format and will include the following for
each of the five questions:

Question asked by parent using a fact from the
survey
Response to the question
Explanation of your answer
Specific example of how this will occur in your
classroom
Evidence from the textbook that supports this
answer
One website for each question that could serve
as a resource for you as an educator or a website
that you could share with parents as a resource.
Guided Response: Respond to two of your peers
who selected a different family than you did.
Based on the data presented in the survey,
develop an additional question that the family
might ask during the parent/family conference.
Offer at least one additional example of practice
as well as one additional scholarly source that
your classmate could to use to answer this
question.

Access to High-Quality Programs. 1st Post Due by
Day 3. Children’s access to high quality programs
in the United States is influenced by the state in
which they live. For this discussion, you will visit
the Children’s Defense Fund website and access
the Children in the States Factsheet for your
state and another state of your choosing. Review

the fact sheet for your state and another state of
your choosing. Find data for the following:
Number of children served by Head Start.
Average annual cost of child care for a 4-year-old
in a center.
Percent of 3-year-olds enrolled in state Pre-K,
Head Start, or special education programs.
Percent of 4-year-olds enrolled in state Pre-K,
Head Start, or special education programs.
Number of poor children (and percent poor).
You will then create a graphic representation
(e.g., chart, table, or graph) that clearly shows
the differences in these statistics between your
state and the other state you chose. You are
encouraged to use “chart,” “table,” or “smart art”
features in Word to create your graphic. You may

As you enter into the final stages of your degree
program, you will take a comprehensive
examination in the ECE430 capstone course. The
purpose of this exam is to determine how you
are performing compared to other early
childhood education students throughout the
United States. You will be assessed on your
mastery of topics covered throughout your
degree program. The academic coursework you
have already completed in your program should
be sufficient for preparation for this exam. The
topics are as follows:
Learner Development
Learning Differences

Learning Environments
Content Knowledge
Application of Content
Assessment
Planning for Instruction
Instructional Strategies
Professional Learning and Ethical Practice
Leadership and Collaboration
For the final journal, you will think about the
above topics and how they are aligned with the
main content covered within this course. This
course is focused on multicultural and anti-bias
issues that support you in developing cultural
competence in working with children and
families in early childhood settings. With this in
mind, describe how you will demonstrate
cultural competence in five of the exam topic
areas of your choosing. For each chosen topic
area, develop a commitment statement that you
can use in your future role.
For example:
Learner Development: In order to support
language development to meet the individual
needs of the children in my classroom, I will use

checklists to observe where children need
additional assistance. Once I observe each child
and document where each individual child needs
assistance, I will support him or her one-on-one
using developmentally appropriate language and
literacy approaches. Some examples include
providing a print-rich environment, reading
aloud to children as a model of language,
developing vocabulary through dual-language
exploration, and providing engaging learning
experiences in which children can use
vocabulary and make meaningful connections
across instructional activities.
For this journal activity, be sure to select five
topics to develop. Consider how you would apply
these principles and construct your 250-300
word journal entry using critical thinking. Since
this is a journal activity, scholarly sources are
not required; however they may help you
support your ideas. You may want to begin your
journal using the following prompt:
In order to support [specify topic], as a(n)
[specify future role], I will
