Welcoming Families from around the world



The name of the country I chose was Chad, Africa and I chose to work in a child care center.


Five ways in which I will prepare myself to be culturally responsive is to research information about the country.  I will use my information to plan activities to get to know the family. I will also research the languages spoken in the country. Next I will make sure I have an interpreter to help me communicate effectively with the family. Finally I would make sure I have pictures of important items from the families culture present in the classroom.  


With these preparations I hope to empower the family to share information about their country and culture. I also hope to gain knowledge from the family. Most importantly I hope to create a positive relationship with the family and to help make their transition to the USA comfortable.
