Working Together provides the framework for successful collaboration to provide quality inclusive opportunities for every child. Included segments of this course are: a guided self-reflection about collaboration with colleagues and others working in the early childhood setting; the defining features of inclusion, access, participation and supports, a comparison of how laws, regulations, policies and guidance related to inclusive practices are similar and different across Pennsylvania early childhood programs; and exploration of the perspectives and use of disability language.
Objectives
The learner will be able to:
- discuss why collaboration with partners is necessary for the success of every child.
- describe why access, participation and supports are important to fully include children in programs and activities in their lives.
- discuss federal and state laws that support inclusion for all children.
- describe the difference between “People First Language” and “Identity First Language” and how they are used to support inclusion.
