Engaging young children in classroom discourse through culturally responsive language (prek-1st)

The opportunity to participate in classroom discourse can be an essential component of young children’s development. However, there are phrases, terms, and instructions from adults that can serve as barriers and limit children’s ability or desire to participate consistently in dialogue with peers and adults in the classroom. This workshop will examine the results of a case study focusing on the experiences of early childhood educators as they navigate classroom discourse with young children. We will explore how applying culturally responsive teaching practices can enhance the discourse experiences for the children in their classes.
