Lectures

4:30-6 p.m.

Joseph Tobin will present this program on immigrant parents and early childhood education.  The program is for early childhood educators, elementary-level educators, and anyone interested in the challenges of teaching immigrant children.

Tobin is the leader of the Children Crossing Borders project, a study of approaches to working with the children of recent immigrants in preschools in five countries.  Through video clips from preschool classrooms in different countries, Tobin will demonstrate the challenge of listening to the voices of immigrant parents and the tension between the progressive practices and cultural responsiveness, and ways to resolve the tension through negotiation.
