CHCECE026 Scenario 1 Marko

You're on the right track.

- You could also ask the family for Greek words/phrases that can be used with Marko.
- Add greek books/stories to the bookshelf.
- Learn some simple Greek words good morning/goodbye that you can use.
- Find out about any special days (name days, Greek Easter) that can be included in your services cultural celebrations.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I need help for my Culture Assessment please. I am really stuck and I'm too overwhelmed with this Cluster.

Thank you in advance.

A new family from Greece has just enrolled in your service. The child Marko will be starting in care next week. This is the first time Marko will have attended a service with other children. The family have brought Marko to your Kindergarten room to meet you and your Lead Educator. You notice the family speak little English and there will be a language barrier in regards to their understanding of some information.

Q1. What information would you make available for Marko’s family about community services and resources in your area? List three (3).

Q2. Provide two (2) strategies you could implement to ensure the information shared in b) and c) is current and easily understood (consider language barriers)?

Q3. How will you assist Marko’s family to locate and contact current community services and resources available?

q4. What information would you and the service gather from Marko’s family? List three (3).

Relating to Scenario 1 where Marko is from Greece.

Once Marko has commenced at the Service:

A.) How would you ensure a welcoming atmosphere that promotes belonging and that you were culturally appropriate and effective in supporting Marko and his family to settle into your Kindergarten room, once he has started in your service?

B.) How would you exchange information with the family about the Marko’s interests and gather information about key family events that may have an influence?

C.) How would you check whether your care practices were meeting the family’s needs?

D.) How would you respond/support the family when they had questions, concerns or requests?

E.) Identify three (3) strategies for involving the family in contributing to the operation of the service. Either as an advisor, consulting or decision-making role?

F.) Identify three (3) strategies on how you can share information with families about their child’s progress, relationships, interests and experiences both in and outside the service?

G.) If you need further support in relation to cultural diversity concerns, who could you contact?

1. Such things as connecting with other Greek people in the community such as Greek language classes, Greek dance classes etc.

2. Information should be translated into Greek. Many government sites offer information in different languages.

3. Most greek people do know how to speak English so communication shouldn't be a problem. If so, a interpreter can help translate so information is understood between the service and the family.
