Discuss why you find it valuable in your academic and professional pursuits.

To prepare for this discussion, again, read the article Working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families  (Links to an external site.)  and reflect on the following quote: “The key is to learn as much as you can about each of the children, to get to know their families, and to always be culturally and linguistically responsive in the classroom” (Bredekamp, 2017, p. 182). Below are some tips to help you further succeed on this discussion: When reading the case study on page 171 of your text about Mrs. Arguenta and Stacey, think back to the definition of acculturation.  Have you seen examples in your life that can support your view of what role acculturation played in this scenario?  Just remember to support them with research.   Based on information from your course text and the article Working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families  (Links to an external site.) , what is your plan for avoiding the following problems: Misunderstanding children Inaccurate Assessment of Children Failure to Promote Children’s Achievement As a leader, what is your role the following statement: “When there are cultural differences between what the school defines as developmentally appropriate and the expectations of the family, children are likely to have greater difficulty adjusting” (Bredekamp, 2017, p. 197).   How do you plan to uphold your educational and ethical obligations to each child and family in your classroom? How will you support children during this adjustment? What are the steps you will take as the leader of others, to promote helping students become bicultural? Remember in your peer responses that you are incorporating an anti-bias curriculum and how it supports the cultural and linguistic expectations of leaders, and promotes a culturally responsive classroom environment. For this week’s toolbox you will create a My Personal Knowledge Management System by using both Diigo  (Links to an external site.)  or Symbaloo  (Links to an external site.)  and Powerpoint slides. Using the MAECEL PLOs and the sources you have examined during this course you will bookmark a total of 20 quality, web-based sources in your Diigo or Symbaloo library.   The 20 sources that you choose should be ones that you want to flip to or find quickly. These can be used for the rest of the program and, for your personal and professional use. As you are researching articles find ones that benefit you and your chosen profession. After you have chosen the 20 sources you will narrow it down to 5. For each of the five sources you choose: Describe the source Explain why it is a credible source Discuss why you find it valuable in your academic and professional pursuits. Remember to describe and establish the purpose of this assignment for you. The Diigo  (Links to an external site.)  or Symbaloo  (Links to an external site.)  library you create should include a minimum of 20 credible, web-based sources.  Remember you want to choose sources that benefit you, your program and your career.
