  Moll: cultural competence requires a look beyond the classroom, funds of knowledge instead of a deficit view, teacher awareness of own prejudices, cultural variations in parenting and communication styles

Answer to Question 2

  Continuity: includes both similarities in home and school environment values and goals (congruence) and linkages (types and frequency of communication)
  Linkages: types and frequency of communication
  Congruence: similarities in home and school environment values and goals
  Transitions: include changes in environments that children experience throughout the day, entrance into preschool, entrance into kindergarten and entrance into primary grades
  Relationship: Children do better when they have congruence in their lives. Educators can help to increase a sense of congruence through continuity, both linkages and continuity. Well-planned transition experiences will include efforts at continuity.
