What are the contexts when teaching? In this course, we will explore personal, cultural, and societal context and its influence on educators’ decision-making and young children’s learning and development. Join DAP thought leaders Susan Friedman and Lorena Mancilla as we focus on one of the 3 Core Considerations: Context. Then, we will explore teacher research as a tool to contribute to knowledge in the field and investigate the context of teachers, children, and families.
