FDED 247 - The Family as Educator: Multicultural Dimensions
Spring
Within America’s multiculturally diverse society, families are the first educators
not only for infants, children, and adolescents, but for adults. Within the context
of the family, important values, attitudes, and skills are first shaped and continue
to be reinforced. Gender roles, religious identity, social class status, and ethnic
group membership are conveyed within families and further reinforced by community
institutions. Educators seeking to understand learners (be they infants, children,
adolescents, or adults) must attend to familial patterns and variations as well
as to community-based institutions. Education is, in the final analysis, much
more than schooling.
