Personal Research Journey

I have decided to research cultural diversity due to there being so much diversity in my local area. and I know that being that there is diversity I need to be open.
Cultural diversity in the classroom is very prevalent. I believe that learning to cultivate diversity is a challenge especially if you have children from several different cultures in your classroom. I feel that cultural diversity is a topic that should have significant research.
The subtopics I have chosen are “Ways to foster cultural diversity in the classroom”, “How to approach cultural diversity amongst preschool children”, and, “The influence of family of the cultural diversity in an early childhood program”.
Personally, I chose these topics due to I am concerned with ways to foster cultural diversity in the classroom since I do not speak another language. As I begin this process of research I plan to ensure I obtain reliable, quality and factual information. I also believe that researching will assist in how to better understand and be open to different cultures. I would appreciate any insights and information my colleagues would be able to provide. I am new to this journey and feel that any and all information that I am able to obtain would be greatly appreciated.

  1. Hello Jennifer
    Great topic choice. Young children can learn much from each other when interacting with children of other cultures. There are so many ways to foster cultural diversity and I am looking forward to hearing more about this topic. Early childhood providers are called upon to do many difficult tasks. One of the most difficult of these is providing our children with diverse, multicultural experiences. Good luck to you.

  2. I understand what a lack of diversity can do to a child in Early Childhood. A lot of the child's first happens in early childhood and that includes a child's identity. It is always better for the child to connect and see images that is relatable to him or her. It's a great topic and thanks for sharing your views.
