1. Read the following situation which actually happened in a local Head Start Program where the children are ages 3 to 5:
A family does not want their son play the Dora Explorer Program on the computer. The Dora program is in Spanish and the parents think you should not allow Spanish at school. They want an English only environment for their child.
2. Respond to the following questions in the discussion post:
Why might the parent have this reaction to Spanish being used in the classroom?
What else would it be helpful to know about this family?
What does the evidence or research say about children who are dual language learners? (see: https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/dll-03-cognitive-benefits-bilingualism.pdf )
Next, consider the NAEYC Code of Ethics we reviewed in Chapter 3. Respond to these questions:
How does the Code of Ethics apply in this situation?
How might you respond to the parent? Be sure to consider the parent’s perspective and the NAEYC Code in your response.
