Description
Reflects workshop discussions on the controversy, educational significance, and complexity and changing dimensions of the issues affecting early education and cultural diversity. Addresses three main questions that formed the structure for the workshop discussions: what roles does culture play in shaping children's earliest learning opportunities and experiences at home; how children's cultural and linguistic backgrounds affect the skills, knowledge, and expectations that they bring to school; and what is known about how instruction needs to vary to assure learning and motivation for children from differing cultural backgrounds.
