I just received word that I a student from France will be
moving to the United States and becoming a part of my child care facility. I am
preparing to welcome this family to our country.
To become culturally responsive towards my new family I will
make a personal commitment to getting to know and understand this student on a
personal level, which includes understanding him/her socially and emotionally
and knowing their academic abilities.
I will do as much research as possible to better understand
their cultural interest and beliefs and make arrangement to ensure it is
included in my classroom setting.
I will help the student to understand the importance of
valuing their home culture while learning different aspects of other cultures.
I will address issues of diversity and use the student’s
cultural background to create and effective and meaningful learning experience.
I will be respectful of the family values and beliefs.
These preparation
help make the transition to moving to a new country more pleasant. They also
allow me to be better prepared to ensure the child and his/her family feel safe
and that they belong.
