Accepting and valuing differences and diversity is empowering for individuals and organizations. The key aspects of building workplace relationships is to build mutual trust, an open respectful communication, empathy, shared decision making and openness to others views, values and perspectives.
Educators can encourage a positive environment by inviting diversity into the service for example learning environments are welcoming spaces for children and families to reflect and enrich the lives and identities of others participating in the setting and being able to respond to their interests and needs. Learning welcoming spaces cater for different learning capacities and learning styles and are able to invite children and families to contribute ideas, interests and questions. Gathering and analyzing information as evidence about what children know, can do and understand is a part of an on going cycle that includes planning, evaluating children’s learning and documenting how you can achieve this is by communicating about children’s learning and progress to families, children or other professionals also identifying children who may need additional support in order to achieve particular learning outcomes.
Critical issues – discuss at least three critical issues that impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and include an example for each.
Religion is one of the critical issues that impact aboriginal and Torres strait islander people, there are so many different religions and belief systems in Australian society that it is very likely an educator will encounter a number of different beliefs in their childcare centers, these can affect the children’s day to day lives it is important to be aware of their beliefs and respect them.
Strategies for maintaining effective workplace relationships – provide four aspects that should be implemented in the workplace to foster effective relationships. By Collaborating and establishing positive relationships, this will enable you to gain trust and respect as you interact with others. Parents of children will be able to feel comfortable in talking to you about any issues and concerns they may have about their children and accepting your professional opinion. Also another important factor to remember is when building relationships with families is that they actively participate in any events or experiences in your centre. There are many strategies and techniques that can be used in a workplace to foster a respectful environment, this also includes having good workplace policies and procedures in place that provide support for everyone’s culture. Four aspects are: Providing a welcoming environment, encouraging diversity by sharing cultural experiences, avoiding making judgments about people based on their looks or culture; your job is to care for and help children, not judge people, their actions or their culture. Also Consulting people when decisions need to be made that affect them to ensure processes are culturally suitable.
