The Module has five Units.

Unit I: Introduces you to the concept of Globalisation, its major features and effects on education. It examines the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Education For All (EFA) Goals. The challenges facing Africa in pursuit of the above goals as well as the progress registered so far are examined.

Early Childhood Education

Family engagement refers to the systematic inclusion of families in activities and programs that promote children's development, learning, and wellness, including in planning, development, and evaluation. For family engagement to be integrated throughout early childhood systems and programs, providers and schools must engage families as essential partners while providing services that encourage children's learning and development, nurture positive relationships between families and staff, and support families.

 

Family engagement is the process used to build genuine relationships with families. Relationships with families support overall family well-being and children's healthy development. When families are engaged, partnerships are created that have a common focus– helping children grow and thrive. Family engagement happens in the home, early childhood program, school, and community. It is a shared responsibility of all those who want children to succeed in school and in life. Family engagement is based on the idea that parents and others who care for their children work together to prepare children for success. The specific goals of the partnership for each family may vary and can depend on family preference, culture, and economic or social stresses. A true partnership honors a family's strengths and culture, mutual respect, and shared goals for the child.

Hi All,

Great website and organization called Welcoming Schools. 

https://www.welcomingschools.org/resources/school-tips/

They have resources for everything related to Inclusive Schools.

I appreciate their resource section. Handouts, activities, book lists, and more that deal with talking to kids about different types of families, LGBTQ issues, and more!

Good stuff for this course and the Diversity course. I am using their one-page fact sheets and also their activity ideas.

The book Contemporary Families: An Equity Lens  has content that would be applicable to this course and was written with an equity lens using open pedagogy (with community college student contributions). 

Here is the description from the book:  This openly licensed text approaches contemporary families from an equity lens. It was created by a Human Development and Family Services (HDFS) faculty member and 12 HDFS students at Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC), using an open pedagogy approach.  It asks two questions relevant to the Difference, Power, and Discrimination outcomes at LBCC: “What do families need?” and “ How do society and institutions support or get in the way of families getting what they need?” This book includes remixed content. Please note that some sections may have more restrictive licenses, and some all rights reserved content is included under fair use. More specific information can be found under Licenses and Attributions at the bottom of each section.

Hello- Will CAP be aligning with the C-ID courses that just completed the 5 year review? I didn't see the updates/ changes reflected on the CAP webpage.

Just curious!
