Diversity in Children
This course focuses on the development of young children from birth through eight years old. It examines the typical and atypical physical, social/emotional, language and cognitive development of young children. The course is also a study of how children are diverse in many ways including language, culture, race, religion, ethnicity, gender/sexuality, family circumstance, and ability. Students explore their own understanding of diversity, multiculturalism, and tolerance and apply concepts of both child development and diversity to their own work with young children. Satisfies TMCC Diversity requirement.
