Knowing the individuals in our classrooms, their families, and communities is an
essential starting point of teaching along with reflecting on our own schooling, learning, and identity. We begin our program in inclusive childhood education with exploring who are our learners and who are we as teachers and learners. We explore issues of identity and intersectionality, child development, the sociopolitical context of schooling, historical contexts of education, working with families, and teaching in and with communities.
