Diversity & Inclusion in Early Childhood
EDMT5559
This unit explores diversity and inclusion in early childhood settings. Class, ethnicity, culture, disability, gender, religion, and other social categories have an impact upon children's development. For the creation of inclusive classrooms, early childhood educators must have an understanding of the significance of the personal and social attributes that children bring to the setting. The establishment of positive engagement with children and families is essential in creating an inclusive environment and curriculum. This unit will explore current theories and practices surrounding diversity, social education and inclusion in the early childhood context. Throughout this unit of study students will be encouraged to examine their own beliefs and values in the consideration of the issues above, as well as others.
