Document Summary
Diversity and early childhood education: recognize that all children are cognitively linguistically and emotionally connected to the language and culture of their home. Acknowledge that children can demonstrate their knowledge and capabilities in many different ways: understand that without comprehensible input, second language learners can be dif cult. All children are language learners some are just single language learners and others are dual language learners. Actively involve parents and families in the early learning program and setting. Partnerships with families: how relationships with families supports the children. Higher preschool performance and promotion to the next grade: more positive engagements with peers, adults and learning. Buffers negative impact of poverty on academic and behavioral outcomes. Team-oriented approach: making sure there are extra people so you can have time to talk to the parents if needed, make sure there is availability. Ask children to get information about their families. Bring something about your family to share to the class: not parent education.
