This document may be reproduced for educational purposes. Goals of Session Allow participants to experience a session on diversity that goes beneath the surface into deep underlying issues of race, culture, and class. Invite participants to critically examine their beliefs, information, and biases to deepen their understanding of cultural competence. Increase participants understanding of the critical role that caregivers play in the process of infants’ identity development. Explore with participants how stereotypes and belief systems influence each person’s ability to communicate with people different from themselves and work cross racially and cross culturally. Explore cultural competency in caregiving practices and how to use a process to communicate around differences. Expose participants to a variety of training strategies and materials to help them plan their own workshop.

Climate of Care We each bring our life experiences and different perspectives to this training session. These differences provide a wealth of real situations, specific challenges, and practical strategies in providing services to infants, toddlers, and their families. This session is a special opportunity to share and refine our skills in harmonizing cultural diversity for sensitive infant care. Adapted from Project Craft, California State University, Northridge.

Share an image of an object, a symbol, or word that best captures what culture means to you. Share your response with your neighbor.

Definition of Terms Bias Culture Cultural Competence Dominant Group Ethnicity Ethnocentrism Equity Gender Identity Internalized Oppression Oppression Prejudice Race Social Inequity

CHILDHOOD CONDITIONING No human being is born with racist, sexist and other oppressive attitudes. As children, we received messages both overt and subtle that conditioned us to think about people different from ourselves in stereotypical ways. The messages were not necessarily intentional. We got those messages family, friends, from the society-at-large – from TV, from textbooks… Our responses to stereotypes affected how we saw people, felt about them and automatically responded to them. It is possible to get off of automatic, become aware of our reactions and make choices about how to respond. Adapted from Project Craft, California State University, Northridge.

When the family’s culture is ignored or when infant care teachers react to children who are culturally different from them as though they are deficient, underdeveloped, or incompetent, children experience problems in communication, in getting their needs met, and in establishing relationships. ~ Carol Brunson Day

Reflections from Your Experience… What were some things you noticed during this experience? What do you know now that you didn’t know before? What part of this experience was most valuable for you? How does this experience further inform your practices with infants/toddlers and their families?

“Cultural Assumptions” Assumptions are beliefs which are completely accepting within the group that they do not need to be stated, questioned or defended.

Wrap-Up, Reflections, and Evaluation Children see themselves only as they are seen by the adults in their lives. When children see themselves through culturally responsive eyes, they will see their real power. ~ Carol Brunson Day
