My Personal Research Journey


The topic I chose for my research simulation is “Diversity in Early Childhood Education”.
The current changing demographics in the United States presents several challenges for early childhood professionals and the need for high-quality preschool programs, especially for young children whose first language isn’t English increases the need for highly qualified teachers and teachers of English language learners in order to help bridge the gap among immigrant children, their families and other ethnic groups. The faces in our classroom are changing, and many of our children are born in other countries, speak different languages and brings their families unique cultural traditions into the classroom and we as educators must embrace these different cultures and look at it as a learning experience for both student and teacher.

  2. Sandra,
    There is definitely a need for more qualified teachers all across the globe. As we all know young children in other countries are wanting to go to school and with the amount of children coming here from other countries we need more qualified teachers. You have chosen a great topic and I look forward to reading what you post because this will help me when I open my childcare center within the next year.
