Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2015 11:31 am
How might you obtain information about the cultural identity of families attending a service?
• Implement experiences that build on the diverse backgrounds of children and families within the service, broaden children’s perspectives and encourage appreciation of diversity
• Plan and implement experiences that focus on events, customs and beliefs that are relevant to the service’s children and families
To implement a learning program that is inclusive, educators need to gather information about the children and their family’s cultural identity. They can do this using enrolment forms, family surveys or talking with families and their supervisor.
QUESTION 1 (B)
Identify three ways Educators can create a culturally inclusive physical environment?
• Provide a diverse range of materials, resources and equipment that reflects the broad cultural diversity of the community, including Indigenous cultures. For example, wall hangings baskets, jewellery made from a variety of materials, puppets, rugs, eating and cooking utensils, as dolls, dress-up clothes, puzzles and table games.
• Display greetings/messages in different languages including the languages of children in care.
• Use books, games and music that reflect cultural diversity and include the background of the families in the service.
