Welcoming Families From Around the World
The Family’s Country or Origin: The Netherlands
The five ways in which I can prepare myself to be
culturally responsive towards this family: While on home visits and conferences,
I must consider the families background; I will ask questions regarding their
family history, ways in they would like to communicate their expectations; by
gaining insight about their family’s rules and behaviors. In addition, I will plan lessons that will
reflect the child and his/her family’s values and norms. Furthermore, I can make my classroom
culturally sensitive by, providing environmental print, maps, books, posters,
and language that reflect the child’s country of origin. Creating a culturally responsive classroom will
help me to recognize my own values and bias which will benefit both me and
families.
