"Bridging Cultures in Early Care and Education: A Training Module"
is a resource designed to help pre-service and in-service early
childhood educators, including infant-toddler caregivers,
understand the role of culture in their programs. It is also
intended for professionals who work with children and their
families in a variety of other roles, such as social workers,
special educators, and early interventionists, and for use in
college courses focused on early childhood education and child
development.
The module explains and illustrates how early childhood educators
can use the organizing concepts of "individualism" and
"collectivism" as a means of understanding cultural conflict and
difference. These concepts have been shown to be highly useful in
improving home-school understanding across cultures. Based on
real-life examples of cultural dilemmas in early care and education
settings, participants engage the concepts of individualism and
collectivism to solve a variety of scenarios in a dynamic and
engaging manner.
*Chapter 1 introduces the Bridging Cultures for Early Care and
Education approach, provides a brief history, and explains the
training module. It presents the conceptual framework of
individualism and collectivism, which is at the heart of the
training.
*Chapter 2 provides the information needed for a two-hour workshop,
including a script and notes to the facilitator. The script is not
meant to be read word for word. Rather, it is offered as a guide,
based on a pilot-tested approach. Appendices at the end of the book
contain transparency masters for the overheads referenced in the
script, and masters for suggested handouts.
*Chapter 3 offers ideas foraugmenting the basic two-hour training
by expanding it over a longer time period. It also identifies
additional diversity resources that can complement the Bridging
Cultures training.
*Appendices providing additional information, data, and
bibliographic resources are included.
This module originated as part of the Bridging Cultures Project at
WestEd--a nonprofit research, development, and service agency
working with education and other communities to promote excellence,
achieve equity, and improve learning for children, youth, and
adults.
