To prepare:

• Consider assumptions you might have about racial/ethnic development.
• Consider how these assumptions might impact your work and interactions with children and adolescents.
• Review the Learning Resources, and think about some of the developmental assumptions people might have about racial/ethnic development.

Explain one developmental assumption of racial/ethnic identity and the implications of that assumption for working with children and/or adolescents. Provide a scenario to illustrate how the assumption might impact your experience working with children and/or adolescents.
