"Your complete professional development course for working with
culturally & linguistically diverse young children"As early
childhood programs and schools become more culturally and
linguistically diverse, professionals need to create settings that
welcome "new voices" and help all children succeed. This
comprehensive professional development course gives them the
in-depth practical guidance they need.
Developed by respected scholar Dina Castro and her expert team,
this five-module program is the key to working effectively with
diverse children and families and preparing all children for
long-term school and social success.
The positive, engaging way to improve cultural responsiveness,
"New Voices Nuevas Voces" is
- field-tested--shown to improve early childhood professionals'
practices
- especially useful for working with Latino children and
families, but can also be applied broadly to address cultural
diversity in all early childhood settings
- developed for children from birth to five years of age in
classrooms and home-based settings
- based on actual professional development needs, determined by
the authors' extensive work in their training institutes
- flexible--can be used for professional development with early
childhood teachers, administrators, SLPs, psychologists, and
more
- equally appropriate for preservice instruction or inservice
professional development
"The New Voices Nuevas Voces" handbook gives readers thorough
coverage of each module, enhanced with learning objectives, case
studies, reflection questions, and an assessment scale and
observation checklist administrators can use to monitor staff
improvement.
And professional development instructors will love the
facilitator's manual on CD-ROM (sold separately), which gives them
a complete professional development package with
- printable PowerPoint slides
- helpful instructor notes
- sample agendas
- group learning activities, and
- handouts such as self-assessment instruments and training
evaluation forms.
With this invaluable program, early childhood professionals will
develop the skills, sensitivity, and knowledge to meet the
developmental and learning needs of the diverse children in their
program.
