Through readings, outside speakers, and on-site visits, students become aware of various strategies and resources available to the teacher in working with young children and their families. Special attention will be given to understanding the needs of students racial/ethnic backgrounds as well as those from lower socio-economic environments, and those with and without exceptional learning needs. Students will develop an appreciation for the problems and concerns affecting families, ways in which the school can support families in raising their children in developmentally appropriate ways, and how to advocate for families of children with special needs on the local and state level.
