Wed Mar 9 13:57:41 2011 cindymaciel Try working with teens that are parents, a whole different culture

Wed Mar 9 14:00:15 2011 Jenny how long does it take to figure out the culture in which you live?
Wed Mar 9 14:00:16 2011 NB Did she say culture is within ethnicity?
Wed Mar 9 14:00:32 2011 Alexandria_Saini yes she said that
Wed Mar 9 14:00:37 2011 NB Thank you.
Wed Mar 9 14:00:53 2011 Alexandria_Saini your welcome
One way to find your own culture is to have dinner with a
Wed Mar 9 14:01:07 2011 Vanessa individual who is out of your culture and you will see what your
culture is... for sure!
Wed Mar 9 14:01:34 2011 Andrea yes

Wed Mar 9 14:01:54 2011 Alexandria_Saini
not in your culture it is a huge difference
Wed Mar 9 14:02:00 2011 ellenklenk very informative infomation, especially working with families.
Wed Mar 9 14:02:01 2011 Lutrease_Chatman had to restart my computer
Wed Mar 9 14:02:15 2011 Andrea but that is the negative aspect
Wed Mar 9 14:02:23 2011 Andrea when we define ourselves through the Other
For those who work in the classroom setting, your classroom will
Wed Mar 9 14:02:26 2011 Vanessa
reflect your culture
Wed Mar 9 14:02:32 2011 Andrea we are entrapped in the self only to be defined by the Other
Wed Mar 9 14:02:33 2011 Catherine_New It has been very clear.
Wed Mar 9 14:02:56 2011 leticia culture defines us. it always goes with you
Wed Mar 9 14:03:01 2011 Andrea no
Wed Mar 9 14:03:05 2011 Lutrease_Chatman children bring their culture as well

age????
Wed Mar 9 14:03:12 2011 victoria_prieto Culture defines who we are.
Wed Mar 9 14:03:16 2011 Andrea it defines you when you identify with definition
Wed Mar 9 14:03:30 2011 Andrea the key is to not identify with the mind that identifies
i really like the quote from J Ronald Lally I want to pass that on
Wed Mar 9 14:03:40 2011 Jami_Kollenborn
to other staff
Wed Mar 9 14:03:53 2011 Jenny how long does it take to absorb others cultural views?
yes children do!! I love it.. we have so many different cultures in
Wed Mar 9 14:04:05 2011 Vanessa
the classroom. That's why it is important to foster who they are :)
Please clarify what is meant, "to share my culture with..." That
Wed Mar 9 14:04:38 2011 Catherine_New
could have many different meanings, some appropriate for ITs.
Wed Mar 9 14:05:09 2011 Catherine_New I was referring to the participant's remark.
Wed Mar 9 14:06:01 2011 Catherine_New That's a nice example, how to hold the infant.
Wed Mar 9 14:06:02 2011 schoolsmovingup_staff We are now on section 2
Wed Mar 9 14:06:34 2011 Jenny different then my own culture
Wed Mar 9 14:06:37 2011 Janelle uncomfortable
Wed Mar 9 14:06:41 2011 LaraK bundled.
Wed Mar 9 14:06:42 2011 Monique looks like a child carrier
Wed Mar 9 14:06:43 2011 Nicollette_Varni ouch
Wed Mar 9 14:06:43 2011 lynnette I wonder what culture it is
Wed Mar 9 14:06:43 2011 Chris_McIntier Native American swaddle
Wed Mar 9 14:06:44 2011 NB What is the lady doing
Wed Mar 9 14:06:46 2011 BrendaB first think of swaddling technigue but stifling
One thought is that they feel secure in the bundle, another is that
Wed Mar 9 14:06:47 2011 shonna_clark
there is no skin to skin contact.
Wed Mar 9 14:06:47 2011 Crystal_Real Swaddled
Wed Mar 9 14:06:49 2011 Cecelia_Rebele This baby is being swaddled which results in security.
Wed Mar 9 14:06:49 2011 Justine_Jimenez swaddle
Wed Mar 9 14:06:52 2011 Laura_Chavez security
Wed Mar 9 14:06:54 2011 Jami_Kollenborn not something I see around me

Wed Mar 9 14:06:55 2011 Kim_Gonzalez huumm
Wed Mar 9 14:06:55 2011 afletcher reminds me of "Babies" movie
Wed Mar 9 14:06:56 2011 LaraK Looks similar to what we do in our country
Wed Mar 9 14:06:57 2011 Vanessa It's like a harness
what are they tieing the baby too... you can tell that is prob a
Wed Mar 9 14:06:58 2011 Alexandria_Saini
different culture
Wed Mar 9 14:06:58 2011 leticia wow how can you do that to a baby?
Wed Mar 9 14:06:58 2011 cindymaciel cultural norms. Watch the movie "BABIES"
Wed Mar 9 14:07:00 2011 ellenklenk tradition
Am curious as to whether it works, since we are doing so much
Wed Mar 9 14:07:02 2011 shelley_geyer
more swaddling in our country.....
Wed Mar 9 14:07:07 2011 ShannonLogan security and comfort for the baby
If I didn't know much about culture I would think its cruel, but that
Wed Mar 9 14:07:07 2011 victoria_prieto
might be how they swaddle their babies
atleast the baby is secure, not something i would do though, i
Wed Mar 9 14:07:09 2011 Tesslyn
find it a little funny actually

Wed Mar 9 14:07:29 2011 esmeralda different of my own culture
Wed Mar 9 14:07:39 2011 Twila Yeah, I thought it was Native American cradle too
Wed Mar 9 14:07:43 2011 Cecelia_Rebele We have car seats here in America

Wed Mar 9 14:08:25 2011 LaraK still bundled
Wed Mar 9 14:08:27 2011 ShannonLogan this is the culture that we are used to
Wed Mar 9 14:08:28 2011 Alexandria_Saini well that's more of what were used to seeing
Wed Mar 9 14:08:28 2011 Lutrease_Chatman appropriate

Wed Mar 9 14:08:33 2011 lynnette well to me this looks more rational and "normal"
Wed Mar 9 14:08:33 2011 NB looks more close
Wed Mar 9 14:08:34 2011 cindymaciel different norms
Wed Mar 9 14:08:34 2011 Nicollette_Varni close to the woman
Wed Mar 9 14:08:35 2011 Laura_Chavez no
Wed Mar 9 14:08:49 2011 Catherine_New symbiotic vs independent
Wed Mar 9 14:08:49 2011 ellenklenk just a different way of bundling a child
I almost have more safety concerns with this practice than with
Wed Mar 9 14:08:50 2011 shelley_geyer
the other, although it provides more skin to skin comfort
Wed Mar 9 14:08:53 2011 shonna_clark skin to skin!
I like how you bring up awareness. "Wait 60 seconds on
Wed Mar 9 14:09:28 2011 cindymaciel
everything before you respond"
Wed Mar 9 14:09:32 2011 Vanessa Both infants looked relaxed.
Wed Mar 9 14:09:39 2011 MariaM yes"contact to skin"
Wed Mar 9 14:10:09 2011 schoolsmovingup_staff Thank you for sharing your perspectives here.

Wed Mar 9 14:13:52 2011 Noemi You will trip out on it. How diffrent cultures care for their babies
Wed Mar 9 14:14:05 2011 jduffie What were your rections when you saw this movie
I experienced culture shock when I went to Puerto Rico and the
Wed Mar 9 14:14:06 2011 ShannonLogan
Bahamas
Seeing these pictures I believe also conjures up triggers for
Wed Mar 9 14:14:41 2011 Vanessa
some individuals.
Wed Mar 9 14:14:50 2011 Noemi Really! Then you need to see this movie then
Wed Mar 9 14:15:37 2011 Twila Chocolate is a neccessity!!!!!

Wed Mar 9 14:15:58 2011 Twila Craziness, I say!
Wed Mar 9 14:15:58 2011 Lutrease_Chatman can be good for you
Wed Mar 9 14:16:06 2011 Cecelia_Rebele Support chocolate lovers, don't really care for it myself
I am not a choclate lover or liker, but it is peoples right to eat
Wed Mar 9 14:16:09 2011 cindymaciel
chocolate
Haha. I'm in Diversity class so I would say...why would you say
Wed Mar 9 14:16:11 2011 NB
that?
Wed Mar 9 14:16:13 2011 Vanessa Chocolate is my happy place
Wed Mar 9 14:16:13 2011 leticia i can live without it. it affects many people
Wed Mar 9 14:16:13 2011 ellenklenk why?
Wed Mar 9 14:16:14 2011 victoria_prieto Obviously I don't know my limit..
Wed Mar 9 14:16:15 2011 ShannonLogan we would need to hear why you feel this way...
Dark Chocolate is now 'proven' to be a great health benefit for
Wed Mar 9 14:16:18 2011 shelley_geyer
heart issue prevention
well it's not my favorite, but I do need it every once in a while. I
Wed Mar 9 14:16:20 2011 Alexandria_Saini
definitely don't think it should be given to babies though
Wed Mar 9 14:16:32 2011 LaraK great point shelley! :)
Chocolate gives u endorphines, endorphines make you happy,
Wed Mar 9 14:16:33 2011 Tesslyn you want happy students Cheryl? Then don't try to get rid of
chocolate!
Wed Mar 9 14:16:40 2011 Noemi I think it could only be bad only if you eat it alot
Wed Mar 9 14:16:46 2011 Connie_Moller You will be voted down before even getting out on the ballot
Wed Mar 9 14:17:19 2011 Jenny nice test
Wed Mar 9 14:17:20 2011 ShannonLogan i would want to hear them out before shooting them down
Chocolate can be used as distraction from pain when giving a
Wed Mar 9 14:17:30 2011 Vanessa
child a shot.
I think cultures are a beautiful thing and I love learning about
Wed Mar 9 14:17:40 2011 Alexandria_Saini

Wed Mar 9 14:18:36 2011 ellenklenk yes it is!
agree with Alex, learning about different cultures is awesome.
Wed Mar 9 14:18:42 2011 Tesslyn
Like different culture's food....YUM!
Wed Mar 9 14:19:05 2011 Noemi I don't like Indian food
Being intune is ver important. we want to be aware of ourselves
Wed Mar 9 14:19:17 2011 Vanessa before we begin working with families... we can easily put our
own judgements onto families.
We practice reflective practice here :) We gain so much more
Wed Mar 9 14:20:10 2011 Vanessa
information from our families
Wed Mar 9 14:20:27 2011 jduffie Thanks Vanessa
Wed Mar 9 14:20:53 2011 Vanessa We conduct a culture web
Wed Mar 9 14:20:57 2011 victoria_prieto I think everyone should take this course!!!

Wed Mar 9 14:21:32 2011 jduffie thanks
Wed Mar 9 14:21:50 2011 Vanessa also anti-bias ... this is very important
Wed Mar 9 14:22:07 2011 ellenklenk personal experiences are important
Wed Mar 9 14:22:20 2011 Alexandria_Saini who uses those anymore...
Wed Mar 9 14:22:43 2011 Alexandria_Saini telephone booths?
Wed Mar 9 14:23:10 2011 Noemi She's oldschool
this is where culture get mixed up. I am "Mexican" but do not
Wed Mar 9 14:23:20 2011 Vanessa follow all the traditions. Within my "Family Culture" we do these
different
Wed Mar 9 14:23:30 2011 Vanessa *things
Wed Mar 9 14:23:49 2011 victoria_prieto Same here I am also Mexican, but do things alot differently
Wed Mar 9 14:24:28 2011 lynnette same here
Wed Mar 9 14:24:35 2011 victoria_prieto Hi Lynnette
How many of you find that talking to the family brings ou more
Wed Mar 9 14:24:50 2011 schoolsmovingup_staff
in-depth information than you had before?
I was asked by a parent "Are you Mexican?" i said yes I am, She
Wed Mar 9 14:24:50 2011 Vanessa responded "oh you sure don't look it!" I asked what does
Mexican look to you?
Wed Mar 9 14:25:02 2011 Vanessa We have a great conversation :)
Wed Mar 9 14:25:02 2011 schoolsmovingup_staff Click the check for "yes" or the X for "no."
Wed Mar 9 14:25:30 2011 Cecelia_Rebele It is key to be involved with the families
I think it definitely does becuase you never really know what can
Wed Mar 9 14:25:32 2011 Alexandria_Saini
be going on in that particular home
thats actually a very good question because I always get asked
Wed Mar 9 14:25:42 2011 lynnette that as well and don't ever know how to respond when they tell
me I don't look Mexican
Wed Mar 9 14:25:50 2011 Monique communication with parents is essential
Listening to the family, being receptive is the key more so than
Wed Mar 9 14:25:51 2011 Catherine_New
"talking to" the family.
The parents are our most valuable resources with out being able
Wed Mar 9 14:26:02 2011 Jami_Kollenborn to communicate with them we wouldn't be as knowledgeable in
their culture
Wed Mar 9 14:26:06 2011 Lutrease_Chatman very much so
the families help you to better understand where the childs
Wed Mar 9 14:26:09 2011 Twila
behavior comes from
Wed Mar 9 14:26:36 2011 Vanessa the parent in the number 1 resource and teacher
Wed Mar 9 14:26:36 2011 lynnette It definately does, without a question
Wed Mar 9 14:26:37 2011 jduffie Thanks everyone for sharing on this question :)

if we view the parent as a child's first teacher, isn't then
Wed Mar 9 14:26:50 2011 Jenny
important to know where they are coming from?
Wed Mar 9 14:26:52 2011 Vanessa esecially when pertaining to their child
Wed Mar 9 14:26:52 2011 leticia getting to know the family will tell you who they are
I think getting close to families is important because they share
Wed Mar 9 14:27:04 2011 Noemi
their culture and customs to make the child feel confortable
Wed Mar 9 14:27:39 2011 victoria_prieto You treat families the way you would want to be treated!
Responsive environment: having the environment mirror the
Wed Mar 9 14:27:40 2011 Vanessa
children
Wed Mar 9 14:27:49 2011 Vanessa and their families..
I agree Noemi because you can use that to your classroom to
Wed Mar 9 14:28:04 2011 Alexandria_Saini
ensure that the child feels comfortable
Thank you for this seminar, it is very good. I need to sign off
Wed Mar 9 14:28:18 2011 Chris_McIntier
now.
Wed Mar 9 14:29:07 2011 Catherine_New audio? is it me or the webinar is silent?
It is really important for the teacher to be aware of their
Wed Mar 9 14:29:19 2011 Vanessa
response. We are the models for how to treat others.

Wed Mar 9 14:32:34 2011 victoria_prieto You did an awesome job Cheryl!
Wed Mar 9 14:32:38 2011 Andrea yep yep
Wed Mar 9 14:32:48 2011 ShannonLogan Thank you, Cheryl.
Wed Mar 9 14:32:48 2011 Jenny i had a quick question,
Wed Mar 9 14:32:52 2011 Justine_Jimenez great presentation Cheryl- thank you!
Wed Mar 9 14:32:54 2011 LaraK Getting in Tune dance is an example of the reciprocal process
Wed Mar 9 14:33:05 2011 Jenny how long does it take to adapt to others culture in your opinion
The rhythm of conversation, silence between turntaking is so
Wed Mar 9 14:33:06 2011 Catherine_New
different between cultures.
Wed Mar 9 14:33:14 2011 LaraK yes!
Culture is very important. We can easily strip families and
Wed Mar 9 14:33:16 2011 Vanessa
children of their culture by not being intune
And the tendency to ask lots of questions vs make indirect
Wed Mar 9 14:33:38 2011 Catherine_New
remarks to draw out the conversational partner.
Wed Mar 9 14:33:41 2011 Alexandria_Saini good question jenny
Wed Mar 9 14:33:55 2011 ShannonLogan Being open-minded is part of awareness
Wed Mar 9 14:33:55 2011 Vanessa Not knowing is your chance to learn
Shouldn't we also prepare parents to understand school culture
Wed Mar 9 14:34:18 2011 Tricia
(not that we can't adapt to their needs as well)?

Knowing the family & their culture definitely helps in
Wed Mar 9 14:34:28 2011 Connie_Moller
understanding what is going on with the child and their behavior.
I also have a question - How do we handle a situation where a
child's culture sees spanking as an acceptable form of discipline,
Wed Mar 9 14:34:42 2011 mkawakami while keeping in mind the boundaries that child abuse
regulations hold? (this probably applies more for
todders/preschoolers)
Wed Mar 9 14:34:46 2011 Larissa I agree Tricia
We encourage parent participation in the classroom and they
Wed Mar 9 14:34:52 2011 Vanessa
begin to see how we treat and talk to the children.
Wed Mar 9 14:35:18 2011 Jenny ok, thank you
Wed Mar 9 14:35:24 2011 Tricia What a nice way for parents and teachers to learn side by side
They then realize how their children respond ( which is usually
Wed Mar 9 14:35:31 2011 Vanessa more positive). Once they start asking questions we know they
are seeing the difference
Wed Mar 9 14:35:52 2011 Andrea true
great information,sometimes we forgot to practice this in the
Wed Mar 9 14:36:04 2011 adlin
child care. Now we are going to take more care. Thank you!
Wed Mar 9 14:36:46 2011 mkawakami Thank you
Wed Mar 9 14:37:01 2011 schoolsmovingup_staff We are now on Section 3: Connecting Theory to Practice
In our classroom we do not use time out; we use positive
Wed Mar 9 14:37:14 2011 Vanessa
reinforcement.. which is hard for the parents to understant
Wed Mar 9 14:37:16 2011 Vanessa *d
Parents and children will thrive when the environment is
Wed Mar 9 14:38:17 2011 Vanessa
welcoming.
Wed Mar 9 14:38:31 2011 Alexandria_Saini I agree vanessa
Instead of center philosophy we have center culture so that our
Wed Mar 9 14:39:14 2011 cindymaciel
families know the culture of the center
Wed Mar 9 14:39:37 2011 schoolsmovingup_staff Photo on slide 38 is from Costa College's lab school.
Wed Mar 9 14:39:55 2011 jduffie Thanks Cindy for sharing
Outside is a big one for us and it is part of our culture to take our
children outside if the weather is not stormy. Culturally this is not
Wed Mar 9 14:40:07 2011 cindymaciel
the norm for them in their family setting but they know it is part of
the center culture
Wed Mar 9 14:40:15 2011 Cheryl_Wms_Jackson Cindy I think that is wonderful!
Wed Mar 9 14:41:58 2011 Jami_Kollenborn I really like that idea
Wed Mar 9 14:42:02 2011 ShannonLogan Children LOVE looking at pictures!!
Wed Mar 9 14:42:21 2011 ShannonLogan Especially when they are in them or thier classmates are in them
Wed Mar 9 14:42:41 2011 Kim_Gonzalez yes pictures with their family too
Wed Mar 9 14:42:56 2011 Alexandria_Saini I also love the fact that they put fictures up of their families
I truly believe in cameras in the classroom and parents bringing
Wed Mar 9 14:43:11 2011 Cheryl_Wms_Jackson
pictures. Great idea
i know lots of children that like to carry around pictures of them
Wed Mar 9 14:43:12 2011 ellenklenk
and thier families
