À propos de cet audio
In this powerful episode of Foundations First, Instructor Mike explores how culture isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a developmental force. From language to family rhythm, emotional expression to social cues, every child brings a cultural framework into the classroom. And when we ignore that framework, we don’t just miss the lesson—we miseducate the child.
You’ll learn:
• Why cultural responsiveness goes beyond bulletin boards and holiday themes
• How identity shapes how children perceive safety, structure, and possibility
• What Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory teaches us about belonging
• Practical strategies to teach without projecting, correct without erasing, and lead without labeling emotions
This episode emphasizes presence over performance, validation over assumption, and the power of reflecting children back to themselves without judgment or distortion.
Because when we make room for who they are,
we protect who they’re becoming.
