Reflect on the above topics and

how they are aligned with the main content covered in this course which is Children & Families in a Diverse Society.

This course is focused on multicultural and anti-bias issues that support the development of cultural competence when 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 a checklist 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.
