Assignment 1:

Assignment Description:

For this assignment, you will be placed (virtually) in a
real-world scenario that occurs in schools. Please read the following
description of the authentic performance task and complete the requirements as
described in the scenario.

SCENARIO

Imagine you are the primary administrator of a preschool, and you
recognize the value of culture in child development. This ‘culture’ can refer
to the culture/climate in the classroom (refer to your readings for specific
ideas) and it can also refer to culture/diversity in terms of building a
preschool that makes families and children feel valued for their individual
differences. Create a Culture and Diversity Plan for preschool staff and
parents that will demonstrate the school’s commitment to families and an
appreciation of culture in which you develop three key ideas (well-developed
and detailed in terms of how you will implement each idea, why each is idea is
valuable, and the outcome for each) focused on three areas:

• How the
  preschool will show an appreciation for diversity and culture
• Classroom
  activities to promote culture in development
• Options for
  family involvement in the preschool setting

Your plan should be realistic, coherent, and precise, and should
address all three required components in a research-based manner using text
support and outside research to create a comprehensive plan.

The plan should be 1250 words and should include at least four (4)
citations. The sections should be clearly marked with headings so that your
instructor knows which points you are addressing. Follow the guidelines for APA
writing style. The title page and references page do not count towards the
minimum word amount for this assignment. Be sure to be creative in your
approach, include at least one big family event, and use outside resources for
ideas.
