How parents act toward ethnicity set the example for how their children will approach ethnicity when given the opportunity to interact with other ethnic groups. We have to teach our children that ethnicity can often have a positive influence, providing us with a sense of belonging and identity and helping us to understand who we are and where we came from. However, it can also play a negative role in creating and sustaining divisions between groups of people that can result in prejudice and discrimination and also conflicts. In the case study with Miranda, Kiana, and Vanessa; I can assume that Miranda family did not communicate with her about the negative behavior that she might encounter from other since she is from a different ethnic group. The reason for my assumption is, Miranda’s reaction towards Kiana and Vanessa refusing to play with her because she is not of the same color.
A sensible idea indeed: America is no doubt a society of diverse cultures, and this diversity is increasing every instant. The upcoming generation requires more skills to live and communicate in this ilk of society. Studying other cultures in school time can be of great help in this regard. Firstly, the motive of school education is not to produce career oriented students, but to produce better human beings who can live and share the world with others on better terms. Keeping this in mind, students should be made to study subjects that can help them understand their surroundings, and their neighbors.
Making people aware is one way they are related. An example of this is educating children in classrooms early on about the acceptance of racial and cultural global diversities. Another way they are inter-related is in the global market. To stay competitive in the world market the US must develop ways to market products to other countries. If we want to sell our own products with other countries it is necessary to learn of their cultures, languages, needs and wants to be successful.
It will also encourage to build positive relationships within and outside the school. In order to uphold these rights, we include all children and young people and do so by focusing on the following points: Raising achievement Studies have shown that the most vulnerable children and young people are more likely to come from a black/minority ethnic origin because of their economic or physical situation. Also the children who have English as a second language, may be struggling to achieve the expected level. In order to raise achievement, my school provides a tailored curriculum to suit every child's needs and is committed to enable all learners to attain and
There are numerous facts and findings on how school uniforms positively and completely enrich students’ school experience. School uniforms should be mandated in the United States from kindergarten to twelfth grade allowing our children to focus on their education and not their social environment. Uniforms are just one avenue we can take to attempt to improve our schools and raise student achievement. “According to the School Administrator publication, along with school reported statistics, the mandate of uniforms on campuses has reduced tardiness, skipped classes, suspensions, and discipline referrals” (Chen 1). All of these findings are extremely conductive of how mandating school uniforms would greatly improve our student’s ability to improve their school experience.
TDA 3.6 Promote equality, diversity and inclusion in work with children and young people. 2.2 analyse the impact of prejudice and discrimination on children and young people: Even though attitudes have changed over the years we still live in a society that holds bigoted and prejudiced views. This bigotry can be racial, religious, ethnic or based on a person’s disability. Because of increased media coverage in general, children are exposed to many different cultures and events happening currently in different countries and so their opinions are formed about people from these countries. As a result of this it becomes much more important to teach children to learn and value diversity.
Multicultural Theme Unit Tiffany Green ECE405 Instructor, Carlee 4/13/2011 In early childhood education it is so important to provide for individual differences adequate learning experiences for our young children especially when teaching a multicultural classroom. We must allow our children to group the concept that we are all different, we are all alike, and we are all capable of learning. Multicultural education means that early childhood education professionals include, accept, and respect each child as an individual. It means that we recognize what each child values and hold dear, and then build those things into the daily life of the early childhood program (York, 2006). The material that can be use for my preschooler, for multicultural education is music, number, nursery rhymes, online activities they all can be use for the preschool program.
A Better Education for children in care 2003 The government’s long term policy objective is to ensure that every child in care is able to fulfil his or her potential. In order to do this children need: *Greater stability *Help with schoolwork *More help from home to support schoolwork *Improved health and wellbeing.-with teachers, social care staff, health workers and carers all working together in the interests of the child. Leaving Care Act 2000 The Children Leaving Care Act 2000 introduced new requirements on local authorities to plan for looked after children so that they have the support they need as they make the transition from care to adulthood. The main purpose of the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000 is to improve the life chances of young people living in and leaving local authority care. Its main aims are: to delay young people’s discharge from care until they are prepared and ready to leave, to improve the assessment, preparation and planning for leaving care, to provide better personal support for young people
With early intervention there are many services that parents can use relating to their child’s disabilities. Early intervention is for children from birth up until about kindergarten and it helps to prepare the family for the educational journey that they will face over the course of their life. There are not any weaknesses of early intervention. Early intervention is used to better the child and help build strengths where there are weaknesses. The strengths of early intervention are enhanced development, minimized developmental delays, and can decrease the need for special education in the future.
The conclusion of the study was that early Montessori education had a long-term impact on later public school performance”(Cavegn). By way of example, parents who may be questioning the transition between a Montessori preschool to a traditional public school can view these results, and feel confident that the Montessori preschool program can potentially be the most effective and influential option for a preschool child’s higher education. Skills that are inevitably learned through Montessori, such as leadership, independence, socialization, respect, etc. further develop students’ education, and allow them to surpass other students who lack a Montessori education, in terms of test scores and grade point
