When applying Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model, an early childhood teacher should

A) First understand the different contexts listed in the model
B) Teach each child by focusing on the microsystems only
C) Relate the layers to the parents at a parent education meeting
D) Ask the child questions about their values

In order to effectively apply Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model, an early childhood teacher should first understand the different contexts listed in the model, including microsystems, mesosystems, exosystems, and macrosystems. This will help the teacher better understand the child's development and the various factors that may be influencing it. Focusing solely on microsystems or asking the child about their values are not sufficient approaches to applying this model. Relating the layers to parents may be useful in a parent education meeting, but it is not the primary way in which the teacher should be using the model in their day-to-day interactions with children.
