Multicultural awareness refers to the ability to comprehend and appreciate the beliefs, history and life experiences of different groups of people. Inescapably, great consideration and cultural awareness promotes a better community. Other facets of multicultural awareness include race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, language, and religion. Key considerations for multicultural awareness include;  Understanding and appreciating diverse communities  Appreciating and understanding own cultural identity and how it impacts personal worldview  Enhancing personal interpersonal and communication skills  Understanding the world through diverse perspectives Identify the challenges facing early childhood educators as a result of the increasing diversity of young children in America today by brainstorming a list based on information contained in the video. 1.

3 Do you believe that ALL children can and will learn, and are you willing to spend the time and effort necessary to help a child learn? I believe that all children can learn. However, there are other factors, especially their backgrounds which affects whether all children will learn. However, every child can learn and should be accorded the right to education. Children should feel safe in learning as part of their comprehensive inclusion in the educational process. I believe that all children should have power and enjoyment in their educational experience irrespective of their cultural background. I am willing to use the available resources, tool, compassion, knowledge, and flexibility to help all children learn. I am willing to adopt to the daily changes and differences to help children experience smooth transition in learning. I believe that knowledge is essential for all children and they should obtain quality education. Caring for children including spending more time and effort in their education is a critical attribute for an effective teacher. Are you willing to teach children individually according to their cultural and individual learning styles? Cultural differences are an important aspect that every teacher should uphold. I am willing to engage from diverse cultures at an individual level. I appreciate the difference which children bring in the classroom in terms of culturally based expectations, values, skills, abilities and talents. However, I acknowledge that there are challenges in teaching children, especially when our values and expectations differ due to culture. Nonetheless, I am willing to take time to learn and appreciate the different cultures which would enable individual learning styles. As children start to establish their self-concept, integrating individual learning styles could help to shape their growth and development.

4 of their identities. The classroom should reflect and validate the different cultures and families in order to make all children feel competent, important and visible. Do you have high expectations for all children regardless of their race, socioeconomic status or gender? Although I have high expectations for all children, I acknowledge the numerous disparities which impede their accomplishments in the classroom. It is important to promote equity in distribution of resources while recognizing the diverse backgrounds and needs of students. I combine high expectations with a teacher support system which considers cultural contexts, individual learning styles, and abilities. The above approach is critical in creating an inclusive environment where all students can thrive and attain their maximum potential. I understand that a teacher and education system should strive to offer a nurturing and fair environment, ensuring that all children have access to resources and quality education for their success. Teachers should aim to create opportunities and eliminate disparities for all children to excel irrespective of their background. Are you willing to work with the parents and families of your children to learn more about their culture, educational values, and lifestyle preferences? In order to implement individual learning styles, it is important to understand the different cultures, lifestyle preferences and family values. Parents and families are a good starting point for gaining this important knowledge. I appreciate culture and color is what makes special and allows us to offer unique opportunities and gifts. In the same line, parents and families can help us understand and embrace culture and color as important aspects in the world around us. I believe in family involvement and engagement in supporting children’s educational
