Essentials of Leadership - Cultural Competence Discussion

We value families religious and culture differences and make the necessary accommodation for each families needs. such as food, holidays and sacrificed ways to value of cultural values in the community.

I have had the opportunity to serve with a diverse group of people in the work place over many years. I recall an older male admin that frequently referred to his staff as "girls." While most of us knew that he didn't mean anything derogatory by it, I as lead teacher had to inform him that it wasn't appropriate to refer to his staff in that manner because it could be misconstrued to mean he thought of us as less than competent.

I have a large cultural difference between the different children in my class.

There seems to be a lot of generational differences at my facility. A lot of the older staff struggles to adapt to change, or the new way of learning.

I don't have a example at the mooment

When I work at the hospital in the kitchen we had to make special accommodations for our Muslim clients during Ramadan.

Just the difference in language and the barrier that creates.

In my previous jobs there are a diversity of different races, different cultures. I interact with them easily not many examples I can explain.

I haven't had any generational, racial or cultural difference arise in my place of work, but I had a few people who were both older and younger than I am. When this happened, it was due to mostly deal with people who thought I was younger than myself and if someone asked my if I was a lot younger than I older; it wasn't really much of a comment but I would take it has one.

one cultural difference that i have faced while working is the types of holidays each family celebrates for example some celebrate thanksgiving while others do not so we have a family dinner instead of a thanksgiving dinner. Another difference i have seen is that some of the younger parents tend to be more easy going with how the children behave where as and older parent seems to be not so easy going on how their child behaves or treats others.

Generational difference searching the Doing research by reading not surfing the web.

I once worked with an older woman who refused to follow instruction from coworkers her children's ages (23-30y). She felt there way nothing she could learn from us since she had been in the field over 30yrs then.

Our day care is a well-rounded place with staff from all over the world. We respect each other, no matter age, race, contry of origin.

I think the only evident thing in our workplace, would be generational. We have teachers that have taught for a long time and are very set in their ways and not comfortable with change. Then you have the younger teachers who are teaching in new ways and are more adaptable to change.

Everyone shouldn't worry about all that, just get along and do your work.

I work with all humans, we all work together just fine, as it should be.

I am a very religious christian and I have worked side by side with Muslims.

Where I work is very culturally diverse and has a range of age groups working together.

There is a large enough age gap between me and some of my colleagues.

Im the youngest employee were i work i have to take time and understand that people im working with have a greater knowledge then i do and though i may know all the new terms and rules they know practicality and what really happens and have more expernce then me.Its important to know that new things can be a challenge but learning some of the older things is important to.

At my workplace there are several races, culturals and only one religion which is catholic also known as cristian.

We are located in a small city in North Dakota, we don't have much cultural differences here.

Our unique environment leaves little room for cultural diversity. We are a tiny Christian co-op group.

I work two jobs and work with individuals who are from different places, who are of a different generation, both younger and older. I tend to adapt to the situation of both generations. In the ECE world, I am fine with being addressed by Mrs. Mackie or by Ms. Tammy.

I haven't begun working at a childcare center yet

There is a mixture of generations at my work place.

Age gap

we all get along there's no cultural difference

In my work place we all get along together both old and young there is no cultural differences

In the school at which I work, some of the younger teachers allow their students to address them by their first name such as "Miss Sally." Where those of us who are older prefer the more formal "Mr __. or Mrs. __."

there isnt really a difference to me

I haven't begun working at a childcare center yet

the people I work with is either older or younger than me , bearly speak with me cause I'm just coming to work and colour of my skin

The mixture of generation in my work place

That is a very big age gap!

The coworker I currently work with is in her late 30's while I just turned 20. There is a huge generational gap between the two of us and at times we look at situations much differently, but also at times we think similarly. Also I work with two families who were originally from Africa so they have a significantly different cultural background.

im gonna have to agree with the teenas ccomment because there is no difference

I am the youngest staff member at my job and everyone from my job is from somewhere different, we're different colors, are different religions and have different beliefs

I have parents in our center that are older then me and have children of young age after having grown or teen children. They often feel as if they have never had children before because our society norms have changed so much.They are torn between what they ones new and what reality is now.

At our center there are teachers who are in their 20's and early 30's we all hang out together then there are teachers who are late 30's and 40's who hangout together. There's not really a mix when it comes to the social groups at work.

We have teenagers at our center and then 40 year olds. There is really no in between.

I am the different in my work.
A am 47 years old, I am from Brazil, my english is not perfect...but I have 23 years like teacher...some parents don't talk to me...some no look me...

At work we all are from different generations and backgrounds; I'm Mexican, there is African Americans, Brazilians and Caucasian. We all get along very well.

age gap

Mixture of generation

All the children in my facility have different back grounds. Some children celebrate Christmas while other do not. Sometimes students are told that Santa does not exist because of either their religion or because their parents do not celebrate the holiday
