Annotated Bibliography And Literature Review

Annotated Bibliography and Literature Review

As an early childhood development professional, it is very important to stay abreast of quality practices and current research in the field so that you can create the highest quality learning experiences for your children and families. One way to stay current is by completing an annotated bibliography and literature review. Your annotated bibliography and literature review will focus on the three main themes we have covered so far in this course: culturally relevant methods, anti-bias curriculum, and diverse family structures. In addition, you will use these resources as support for your summative assignment, Multicultural Education Presentation
