- The name of “your” family’s country of origin
My family is from Germany
- At least five ways in which you will prepare yourself to be culturally responsive towards this family.
1). I would prepare myself by studying the language of the country and general facts about the country.
2). I would ask the family abut information regarding their culture.
3). I would prepare the things that are would make them comfortable, food, and information abouut my country.
4). I would also implement ini the currriculum information about their culture and their country.
5). I would develop a buddy system for the family and child to help them transition smoothly.
- A brief statement describing in what ways you hope that these preparations will benefit both you and the family.
I would hope that the preparation would help the family feel wlecomed and comfortable. I also would hope this would allow the family to be able to trust, and help us to develop a relationship. This would also help to build a better understanding of cultures, and build upon the foundation of diversity. Preparation would also help to eliminatee bias,prejudice and oppression. This would benefit the relation and help to ensure the families needs are met.
Hello Alicia,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog this week. I liked the country that you chose. I have heard of Germany, but never visited or know to much about the background. I am very interested to know how Germany children does things and what do they have to offer. I here of a lot of army people that go over there and they always say that Germany is a great country. As professionals, we have to be ready to teach children about different cultures because diversity is huge in our schools and society. I agree that families can benefit because this gives teachers the opportunity to build that positive teacher-parent relationship and helps them to be comfortable and welcomed. Great blog!!!
