Week 8

When it comes to working with children and their families I feel that it is important that as an educator you are able to build a  respectful, educational, diverse relationship with them. As educators we must realize that not all children are the same. We must also treat children fairly and not mistreat those who may have a little more issues than others.

I feel that that educators should be advocates for the children that they teach.
I have enjoyed reading everyone's post and I wish you all the best in your educational endeavors

Week 7



 The county I choose would be Africa. I really only know what I have heard about the culture and the many issues individual who live there suffer from. I would first make myself knowledgeable about the reason for the family coming in contact with me as a social worker. What are the family’s values and religious beliefs in regard to government involvement that I should be aware of.

I feel that me be culturally responsive towards the families needs and religious background would   allow me the ability to know how to work with the family effectively and will benefit the family in knowing that I am aware and respectful of their culture

WEEK 6 EDUC 6164

When it comes to issues that I have experience with prejudice. I can remember an incident that took place on my job where I am a Social Worker. There were a few lady who are African Americans were laughing out loud an done of my co workers made the comment that " This is how they act" Once  some other worker heard of  the comment they were outraged  and began questioning the individual why would he say that and he just could  not  understand what the problem was. He kept referring to African American's as "those people". I was outraged by this.
