    I would say WAC 110-300-0160 is about diversity and inclusion

    I think the big takeaway from it is to show as many of the different kids in the toys they play with the activities they do and the artwork they look at strung around the classroom. as well as to feel that you see them at equals in your eyes.

    WACs110-300-0160 discusses diversity and focuses largely on making sure that bias, if heard, is confronted and addressed, and that it is really important for students to be submerged in music and representation of all of their cultures, in games and in everything.

    WACs 110-300-0085 talks about collaboration with family. It focuses on communicating with family to establish their childs personal goals, what intersectionality they may have that will impact their childs learning interactions, and how their child can be best accommodated for.

    What messages do the WACs convey regarding diversity and collaboration?

    WAC 110-300-0160 states that early childcare providers must provide learning opportunities that are culturally/ racially diverse in their curriculums, activities, and materials. That includes things around the classroom that don’t reinforce stereotypes, diverse music, and intervening when biased behavior is displayed. When there is a new child I would have the parents introduce them and or if they’re able to.It would be good to include theyre culture and what there customs are at home

    Children should be encouraged to express their unique cultures. By celebrating their differences, children can develop positive cultural identities. Childcare providers should make sure to foster an inclusive environment where each child feels comfortable with themself.

    1. Which WACs address diversity and collaboration with families?

    WAC 110-300-0160 Promoting acceptance of diversity

    1. What big messages do the WACs give regarding diversity and collaboration?

    Diverse learning opportunities must be demonstrated by the provider’s curriculum, activities, and materials that represent all children, families, and staff. Diverse dolls, books, pictures, games, or materials that do not reinforce stereotypes. Diverse music from many cultures in children’s primary languages. A balance of different ethnic and cultural groups, ages, abilities, family styles, and genders.

    An early learning provider must intervene appropriately to stop biased behavior displayed by children or adults. Redirecting an inappropriate conversation or behavior. Being aware of situations that may involve bias and responding appropriately. Refusing to ignore bias.

    1. WAC 110-300-0160- talks about the meaning of creating the opportunities for families and staff to provide the equipment and materials to share children’s learning in balancing the different ethics, cultural groups, and stopping bias behavior displayed by children and adults(appropriate conversations).

    2. WACs gives us the opportunities as early learning providers to ensure to include everyone meaning to accept their cultural preferences, language spoken, and to not accept behavior that could offend or hurt families that trust us in their children’s care of learning.

    I would make the children fill welcome by making each child a poster to take home with questions about there culture and family life, then have them come back to class and have teacher and child discuss in front of the class.
