EDPR 150 - Family, Community and Cultural Partnerships


Prerequisites: EDPR 100   or approval of the instructor
This course focuses on the diverse needs of children age birth to eight within the context of family, school and community. The course will examine the interplay of diverse cultures, lifestyles, abilities, language and communication with the role of the early childhood environment and other community institutions. Students will gain an understanding of their professional role in supporting evidence-based practices that strengthen respectful, collaborative family/child partnerships through effective use of community and family resources. Students learn to use these understandings of communities to create reciprocal relationships that support and empower families, and to involve all families in their children’s development and learning.
