Conclusion
This portfolio emphasizes the ways in which children are formed within various and interrelated contexts such as economic, social, cultural, health and crisis-related. Applying the Ecological Systems Theory developed by Bronfenbrenner, it becomes evident that children are affected by their families, communities, and social system in general.
In all these settings, inequality, instability and lack of access to resources can affect the learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging in children. Nonetheless, early childhood educators have a crucial role in enhancing the positive outcomes based on inclusive, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed practice.
Through acknowledging the experiences of children with different backgrounds and collaborating with families and communities, teachers will be able to provide supportive conditions that encourage resilience, equity, and wellbeing of every child in the Australian society.
