WELCOMING Families from Around the World

The name of “your” family’s country of origin

Assisting a Hispanic family of 5 from Mexico Language they speak is Spanish

At least five ways in which you will prepare yourself to be culturally responsive towards this family

I will research the family and its history

I will make sure that I have all the child records from previous schools so that I’m on the same level and not taking the child too fast.

I will begin taking second languages classes so that I’m fully equipped for the family.

I will make sure that they are comfortable with their school and the way their child is being taught.

I will make sure that I have all the materials that needed to assist this family with the transition.

A brief statement describing in what ways you hope that these preparations will benefit both you and the family

I hope that these preparations are beneficial to the family because a big transition can sometimes take time. I will also make sure that the family is comfortable and that we are all on a good page and understands what’s happening. I will seek more help from colleagues to make sure that I’m fully prepared for my family and that the family is grateful got this transition.
