EDECE3027 Identity, language and culture: Supporting children and families
In this course Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) will examine children's identities as shaped by their culture and home languages and consider the responsibility teachers have in supporting a strong sense of identity. The course will explore ways to promote children's cultural competence, to enable them to understand, communicate with and interact with people across cultures. PSTs will develop plans for establishing inclusive early childhood environments that foster a positive sense of identity and support diverse languages and cultures. They will also create resources to support children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
