Culture, Diversity, and Equity “Early development and learning must be viewed within a cultural context and occurs through social contexts, as in families and communities, using language and everyday experiences.” p. 21 Intro CDE 2009

Key Concepts Culture shapes a person’s values, beliefs, worldview, experiences and behavior. Values and beliefs influence child-rearing practices, and family-school interactions for children of all abilities. Equitable practices provide meaningful learning experiences and support a sense of identity, belonging and self-esteem. Sensitivity to culture, diversity, and equity supports engagement of families in everyday learning experiences.
