Welcoming Families from Around the World


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.
