¶ … family probably feels occasional loneliness and isolation due to the parents being migrant workers. To strengthen family and community bonds in a way that respects the family's privacy, I would first approach them to offer a warm welcome gift. If the family seemed receptive to socializing and integrating with the community, then I would be able to take the relationship a step further. Otherwise, it would be wrong to assume that the family is interested in immediately engaging in social activities that are artificial, structured, and potentially of no interest to them. It is important to understand the cultural variables that are at stake too. If the family speaks different languages than the ones already spoken in our community, it might be helpful to find some way of learning about that family's language and culture. The children should be encouraged to talk about their background, their way of life, and use their mother tongue to educate the other children about their way of life.
Unit 7 Discussion
Developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) is essential...
Decades of research on child development has yielded a body of knowledge that can be individualized and applied to unique scenarios, as well as adapted for use in any classroom ("Twelve Principles of Child Development and Learning that Inform Practice," n.d.). One of the DAP principles is that every area of learning is important, which is something that I believe personally and wish to incorporate into my future classrooms. Music and art are as important as math and reading, which is something that school administrators and curriculum developers sometimes neglect due to the strident rules related to standardized testing. However, young children need a wide variety of stimulations. I would include in my classroom the resources and tools for children to learn about geography, math, music, and everything else by stocking the room with books and materials.

Education and Sociology Over the last several years, the education system has been continually facing a variety of challenges. This is because many schools are lagging behind in academic achievement in comparison with most developed nations. To make matters worse, teachers are not creating an environment that will help students to learn the social skills they need to survive inside the society and the workplace. This makes it harder for them
Education Both Woodson (1933) and Howard (2001) agree that the education system in the United States is inherently biased, and that it does not serve the needs or interests of the African-American community. Blacks are systematically excluded from history and the construction of pedagogy in schools. Furthermore, Woodson (1933) points out that there have been few opportunities for African-Americans to join established professions. The message has been that blacks do not
Education Richard Rodriguez and Mike Rose both write about their education. In "I Just Wanna Be Average," Mike Rose recounts his experience in Catholic school as an Italian-American from a working class family background. Because of a school error, he was placed in the vocational tract at school. The experience taught Rose a lot about the low expectations place on students, the lack of effective role models in the classroom, and
) The State of Education in Third World Countries Third World countries, by definition, include the poorest and the most underdeveloped. Most of them, therefore, are severely lacking in most development indicators including education and literacy levels. So even though, it is now universally recognized that education is the most cost-effective factor in improving the quality of life, both at the individual and at the collective level, millions of people in poor,
To the extent possible, childhood educators should try to identify the learning styles of their individual students so that they can help them maximize their absorption of subject matter in accordance with their fullest and truest intellectual potential instead of allowing their maximum progress and most positive long-term attitude toward education (Lloyd, 2005). Having studied learning theory and educational psychology, I am confident that I will be able to
