hi everyone i need help in my assessment please anyone have idea or example that would be appreciated
thanks


Work collaboratively with at least three(3) different families to support education and care
For each families describe how you
1. Communicate information about children and engage in discussions.
2. Develop care strategies
Provide opportunities for families to provide feedback

Think about the different types of families you may come across while working with children...:

- A family who doesn't speak much English
- A family who just moved into the country
- A family where the parents are divorced

Hope this help,

Hi everyone can someone try to help me about this scenario..i already answer some but my assessor says it was a bit brief and i find out that some of the possible answer are like management job..


scenario 1
A mother has rung the centre and is coming to have a look around with the view of enrolling her two children. One is twelve months old and the other is four and half years old. Sally will be returning to part time work and will require three days per week.

a) What information will you need to give Sally?
b)What information will you want to gather from Sally so you can be best prepared to support her children when they enroll?
c) How will you ensure Sally feels welcome in your service?

scenario 2

Sally tells you that her children have been at home with her up till now and as such have a very variable routine. She would like there to be more consistency with their routines. The four year old eats and sleeps when he likes. As he will need to join a group of 15 other four year olds he will have to adapt some of his schedule to fit in with the group as the staffing and facilities do not allow for individual programs in the preschool room.

a) How will you negotiate and support a care program for Sally’s children?
b) What alternatives/compromises could both you and Sally’s make?
c) How will you record the final decision so everyone is clear of how you will proceed?
d)How do you make time to listen to family’s need?

thanks in advance
