MEd ECE Summer Institute: The Influence of Culture on Development & Early Education: Implications fo |
Honolulu, HI, United States |
Phone: (808) 956-2376 E-mail: [email protected] |
Cultural competence in early education involves a conscious willingness and ability to value and embrace the significance of culture in the development of children and their families. Early educators must have a deep understanding of culture along with related race and socio-economic class issues, and how these factors influence our work. This seminar will generate strategies for addressing the contradictions that emerge as constant underlying themes in our work with the changing landscape of children and families we serve.
Together, participants will:
1. identify ways in which culture, race and class impact values and beliefs about self and others.
2. create policy strategies and tools to mitigate the impact of institutional forms of bias on the development of children.
3. explore professional development practices to build a culturally competent workforce.
4. develop principles of best practices for working with culturally diverse populations.
Offered in graduate credit (EDCS 656), undergraduate credit (ITE 499), Non-credit and CEU options. Contact [email protected] for more information or call (808) 956-2376. |

Let’s get physical! Learn how to help young children use movement and creativity to relate to every aspect of music and other content areas. From melody and rhythm to dynamics and form, children can deepen and broaden their understanding of all kinds of music when they use their bodies and minds together. As children become musically literate, they respond actively by listening, reading, writing, creating, and arranging music. And once children have tuned in, teachers can capitalize on the motivating power of music to help children learn basic skills and concepts. |

This year's theme is Making Learning Personal, emphasizing how meaningful learning is ignited by personal passion, supports social-emotional learning all the while building competency in academics.

ISSA, a leading network of early childhood development organizations from Europe and Central Asia, holds this 13th edition of its international conference which aims to be an opportunity for shared learning and a joint exploration to re-consider early childhood services for children from birth through primary school. The event will draw together reform experiences from the last 25 years, as well as innovations, evidence and practices in early childhood systems.
The Conference will explore three main strands: ensuring that democratic values and principles are integral to early childhood practices; reaching and supporting all children in their earliest years, to reduce the gap in equity between the majority of young children and the most disadvantaged; and identifying successful approaches to develop comprehensive services that link care, health, education and social assistance systems.
Practitioners, researchers, policy makers, parents and NGOs from Europe and Central Asia will be joined by peers from around the globe.
The event marks the 20th anniversary of the Open Society Foundations' Step by Step Program and the 15th anniversary of ISSA. The conference is organized in partnership with the Open Society Foundations, UNICEF, DECET and Partners Hungary Foundation. |
