Essentials of Leadership - Cultural Competence Discussion

At my job, there are several generational gaps. We have the interns who are young high school students. Most of the staff are between the ages of 20-30. We also have a few members who are in their 40's. We all get along and respect one another, however we also have different teaching styles and approaches when it comes to the children. The younger teachers tend to be more playful with the kids, whereas the older teachers take their jobs more seriously and are more old-fashioned with their teaching styles.

I have been experiencing these situations in my workplace because my English is not good enough. My colleagues are having hard time understanding me but they are so helpful and always encourage me to speak. In some ways we have cultural differences but we are all open-minded and no problem at all.

At my workplace we have an assistant teacher that has been there for 50 years. She has a different way of treating staff members.

Their has been no Culture Competence in my work place we are all super open minded and love with our hearts not our heads.

A comment like "I need to go to the bathroom first because I'm older than you." Someone from the office, after I called to be relieved from my classroom to use the restroom.

There isn't really much of a difference. They got rid of the grandparents which would come for part of the day so we really don't have anyone anymroe that's different.

At my job we have a generational and cultural gap among our staff. The youngest teacher is 22 years old to our eldest volunteer in her 80's! There is definitely a difference in how they discipline the children. The older generation has a hard time grasping some of the newer concepts. The cultural gap we have is minimal but still there. We have a teacher whom is Muslim and from Jordan. She speaks Arabic and wears a hijab. This was new for some people to get accustomed to.

We have had, since I've been working at my job, several people on staff who are from other countries. There have been a few times where communication was difficult because of language differences or proficiency, but it has been pretty fun being able to learn about different cultures than my own in the workplace.

not difference at this point.

not difference at this point.

At my job we have one particular coworker who cannot stop living in the past. She likes to always bring up how she has been there longer than us and how things used to be. Sometimes it can be quite frustrating because she doesnt like to see others point of view.

In my area we have a large population of Hispanic migrants that come for the summer to work then go back to Texas/ Mexico for the winter. A lot of the teacher get frustrated when the families leave and comeback.

At my previous work place I experience generational difference...The older workers are more professional and the younger workers didn't take the job as serious.

Generational would have to be the biggest but then I also have cultural differencies

For me as a Native American thanksgiving in a daycare is always a sore point. I don't appreciate teachers dressing their class up as Indians with headdress or calling the girls Indian Princesses.

an older employee was upset about my wording or phrases none of them were bad she jut didnt undestand why i used them and would correct me all the time

In our workplace there are employees in their 20's up to the 60's but so far those that have been there for a while are supportive of those of us still learning.

former/
someone was gay because of my religion he didnt want anything to do with me. instead of asking me my view he assume that I didnt want anything to do with hi,
.
I was told about it so I went to him

One of my coworkers happens to be in a religion and I had just read a story where a member of the same religion as them was being individualized because of something that the stood for which was unpopular in society. They were impressed that I was familiar with the situation.

We are run out of a church, however, we welcome those of different cultures and religions. I definitely think that our small amount of diversity could be increased, but sometimes people are deterred due to the "religious" aspect.

In my workplace, most of us employees are in our early 20s. I think that because we are so young it's hard for us to communicate well with each other and that their is a lot of gossiping because of it. I do know that some staff will say oh you let your students do anything they want when that's not true. Young children like toddlers need that free play/time to learn things on their own.

I have worked under teachers who are the age of my children.It can be an uncomfortable working relationship. They often think differently than me and I have more years of experience, but that experience isn't valued.

in a previous workplace i was the youngest employee and i was treated differently because of my age. I was also the only one that worked there that was a different race than the other employees

I believe that younger generations have a lack of respect for authority or for how they are going to treat others. I also believe that there is a different in the older generation when it comes to teaching. I have noticed when it comes to learning they have trouble with the idea of learning through play instead of sit down and let me teach you everything right now.

We have many different generational, racial, and cultural differences within my center. The most prominent do not understand the new concept of free play as a learning tool, they increasingly become upset over lack of "structure" without understanding that play is an incredibly important for young minds to learn and develop.

I have worked with people from different cultures from me or worked with people who had different backgrounds as I did. I'm the youngest ta my daycare but there is someone near my age.

I see this distinct difference in the different generations, and it saddens me to see how disrespectful the younger generations are.

I believe there is a huge gap in respect of older people by the children of today. I can't believe that some parents let their children address our director by her first name! I see how the parents cater to their child's whims. Everything from diet to entertainment, it is just so over the top. This very young generation is being raised so differently than I was raised or how my children were raised. You have to wonder how they will manage when they are adults.

Differences in age was a problem at my former workplace. The older people were quiet and didn't want the bother of the younger tenants.

I have transitioned from being one of the youngest to being one of the oldest - I still feel like one of the youngest.
Priorities seem to be skewed with the younger generation compared to mine. I don't deal well wtih the "ME" generationl

I am the oldest woman working in the childcare center but everyone usually turns to me for information in which I don't mind for if I can help I will.

In my previous jobs and in my neighborhood there are a diversity of different races, different cultures and belong to different countries . I interact with them easily, actually i love to interact with different culture people.

The younger generation professionalism in the way they are dressing is one example that is in my work place.

There can sometimes be language barriers between employees.

it is a group of women who work closely together, but they tend to be of different age groups. I am one of the youngers, then the oldest is in her 80s. there is a huge age gap. there is also two young boys who work with the school age kids. then we have one man in the office.

Yes. We have many identities. As such, issues of diversity are relative to these identities. We differ from each other with respect to religious affiliations, race/ethnicity, disability status, sexusl orientation, age, and gender, etc. No matter what makes us different, each minority group experiences some distress when those in positions of power and decision- making don't consider issues of diversity and inclusion.

The racial and cultural differences can be quite challenging to overcome with fear of change and or lack of tolerance in the workplace. The language barrier is the most difficult since it poses miscommunication which leads to ineffective and inefficient work duties. Tension arises due to moral differences since expectations are not the same. Disciplinary measures are more often that not take to ensure every associate adheres to protocol

School today are becoming increasingly diverse. Any educator who has been working in schools for a long time has likely seen the differences between students who were in their classrooms 20 years ago and students who are in their classrooms today.

Key Term Cultural competence.

when it comes to cultural different we are may not agree or like the traditions or norms of that culture. As teaches we are there for the children an parents.

In our workplace we have employees that range from 40 yrs to early 20's. It is sometimes difficult for them to communicate

In my business I had contact with a lot of Chinese families,mostly with children in the age range of 10 to 18 years. I taught them the sport of tennis which requires an equal share of physical and mental capabilities. It is evident immediately that as a people the Chinese want to assimilate into our culture. My students had first names like Cindy, John, Dan and Leigh. They kid about their "U.S. Names", the names they always use while in the United States. These students are very focused and they come to a lesson with a plan and sense of purpose. They put forward a consistently high level of physical effort. They listen intently to any instruction they are given. They are not afraid to ask questions and will engage in conversation at any time. The parents are extremely polite and friendly. They treat teachers with reverence and respect. Since my contact with the Chinese community, I have tried to model a lot of their behaviors and internalize them for myself.

Some children likes to play different games.

Being the principal of a school that serves under served and under resourced families in our community has taken me down so many roads to build trusting relationships. I have found that building relationships from the ground up without "baggage" and preconceived stereotypes takes time and positive energy.
