Ashford 6: - Week 5 - Discussion 1

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates.

Cultural   Competence Sharing and Reflection

 Throughout this course you have learned about concepts that contribute to the creation of a culturally responsive environment and support the learning and development of all children and their families.  You now have an ePortfolio that demonstrates this learning. This final discussion has two required parts:

1. You will finalize your ePortfolio by adding a Resource      tab including all the scholarly resources that you have included in your      assignments.  The final Resources tab should be submitted in APA      format and include the 10 scholarly resources that you have used to      support your ideas in your assignments.  After you finalize your      ePortfolio, you will share the link to your completed Cultural Competence      Google site ePortfolio. This is your opportunity to share with others your      compilation of ideas, beliefs, and strategies to meet the needs of all      your children and families.  
2. In addition to sharing your ePortfolio link, you will      reflect on your ePortfolio by summarizing the main concepts and why they      are important to you as an educator.  The four main themes are:
   • Culturally Relevant Methods
   • Anti-Bias Curriculum
   • Diverse Family Structures
   • Multicultural Education

 Guided Response: After you review several peers’ ePortfolios, provide feedback to at least two classmates.  Review the About Discussions guidelines (located in the left navigation bar of your online course under Course Home). Identify the strengths of their portfolio as well as an area of opportunity. Include one specific suggestion that will help your classmate improve his or her work.
