HD 373 - The Development of Children of African Descent: Early Childhood Years (0-5)3 credits This course will examine the social, emotional, spiritual, cultural and cognitive development of African immigrant, African-American, and African Caribbean children in the United States between the ages of zero to 5. Original research will be presented which covers the role of culture and language on their socialization styles, the importance of relationships, and how these relationships impact development. We will explore the implications of multicultural development of the child within the context of home, school, and community. Emphasis will be placed on how early childhood development takes place within an Afrocentric model. Strategies will be examined that support children's growth and empowerment in community and institutional structures. The readings for this class focus on Afrocentric theories of development, family relationships, and coping with racism in the educational system. |
