My family migrated from
Vietnam.
Ways to prepare myself to
be culturally responsive in order to serve this family effectively in my early
childhood setting would consist of:
1.
Becoming knowledgeable concerning the Vietnam’s
history and cultural traditions.
2.
Being aware of my social identities and acquainting
myself with the ecological systems that are a part of the child’s life.
3.
Respecting and validating cultural values and traditions
in the program to include language.
4.
Establishing relationships with families and
provide resources to provide lifelong success for both children and their
families.
5.
Arranging environment and providing material and
activities that reflect Vietnam’s culture and language.
These preparations will enhance my abilities in providing high quality educational learning experiences for children and families. It is also my hope that these provisions will allow me to assist families in making necessary connections with the dominant culture to enhance their quality of life.
I didn't even think to include being aware of my social identities. Thanks for the reminder. I will need to consider any biases I might need to overcome too.
