HD 564 - Advanced Studies in Community as a Context for Development

3 credits
Growth and identity are influenced by the social dynamics and interactions of the diverse families and cultural institutions in which children live. Students will critique theoretical and practical aspects of building, reflecting, and including "community" in early childhood and primary classrooms. Students will create strategies which use the child's community to enhance learning and build a sense of belonging. This class will synthesize practical application of community-building as an avenue to examine and promote cultural competence and advocacy for children.
