Move to Action

My chosen organization is National Association of Early Childhood Teachers Association,
website https://naecte.org/. This week I examined the Speak Out – Move to Action Position
Statement of June 2020. This move to action position is about the issues minority people are
facing today but what gain my attention was their comment about developing teachers in this area to better serve children and their families. The statement read as followed, “We believe we must develop teachers’ abilities to mastery with culturally infusive perspectives in practice ensuring that our approaches and activities support the children and each child’s family within the community, cultural, and custom context; advance equity through integrated curriculum that promotes world perspective as unique and valued; provide racially and culturally diverse field experience contexts where learning, education, teaching approaches, responsiveness, and guidance are different in value and application from one’s own upbringing; foster community building to break down any racial, gender, or socioeconomic bias in learning ability, critical thinking, or socialization that could hamper the ability of the teacher to positively influence children’s social, emotional, and academic realization in culturally responsive ways. We know our beliefs can lead us to actions.”
With the issue of racism going on in the world today I felt this was something to share. As it
states the importance of developing teachers in this area so they can learn about this subject
but also teach children the difference about each other and being able to include this in the
everyday class room environment.
