The document discusses issues with the current U.S. policy of expecting refugees to find employment within 6 months of arrival, as refugees do not have adequate time to acclimate to language, culture, and lifestyle. It proposes a new policy guaranteeing refugees at least 1 year to acclimate before entering the workforce, arguing this would better prepare refugees for jobs through improved language skills and cultural adjustment. An advocacy plan is presented to raise awareness of refugee issues through campus events and encourage student participation in refugee support activities.

Atlantic Chiefs Head to Court
The Assembly of First Nations' Chiefs in New Brunswick are taking the federal government to court to challenge proposed changes to the on-reserve social assistance program that were introduced in 2012 by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. The changes would have substantial financial impacts and alter eligibility requirements in a way that fails to consider the effects on Indigenous community budgets and vulnerable populations. The Assembly argues that further consultation is needed regarding available resources, the consequences of the changes, and what an Indigenous-led social support system could look like.
Presentation for 2012 AAMA Conference - Nov. 14, 2012
The document discusses four key themes facing the U.S. healthcare system: (1) the country faces a grave national financial crisis, (2) the impact on healthcare will be significant as costs and quality continue to be challenged, (3) transformation of healthcare requires changes in leadership to ensure survival, and (4) empowering employees as trusted partners is the best pathway to success. It provides context on the national debt and deficit as well as drivers transforming the healthcare system like an aging population. The document argues leadership must change from command-and-control to empowering employees through a cultural shift to succeed amid financial pressures.

Cultural Awareness: Self-Study Guide to Cross-Cultural Communication
Do you work across cultures? Cross-cultural communication is all about helping people better understand how to work smarter when working with people from different cultures, whether at home or abroad. This is a free self-study manual that covers the basics of cultural awareness with focus on how we communicate.
Cross cultural training
This document discusses cross-cultural training and its importance for business interactions between culturally diverse teams. It outlines the phases of cultural shock one may experience and ways to overcome cultural shock, such as understanding the new country, learning the language, and accepting cultural differences. The document also notes that including families in cross-cultural training programs can help address family concerns that may cause employees to refuse assignments or return early. It presents components of effective cross-cultural training, including language training, cultural awareness, managing change, and stress management.
Cultural barriers to communication
There are several cultural barriers to effective communication in a multicultural workplace. Language barriers can cause misunderstandings as translation between languages is difficult and complex concepts may be lost. Hostile stereotypes can also hinder communication if inaccurate assumptions are made about individuals based on their cultural group. Additionally, differences in behaviors like eye contact, personal space and expectations around business discussions or emotional displays between cultures can lead to misunderstandings if these differences are not recognized and accounted for in interactions.
Cultural Awareness
This document discusses cultural awareness and differences. It begins by defining culture and explaining that it is relative, learned, and changes over time. It then discusses some forces that shape individual cultures like values, beliefs, education, and religion. The document outlines some dangers of stereotypes and ethnocentrism. It provides examples of cultural differences in areas like eating habits, religion, family structures, communication, and time. It stresses the importance of understanding other cultural frameworks and seeing cultural differences as creative problem-solving opportunities. The document also discusses the stages of cultural adaptation like honeymoon, confrontation, crisis, and recovery.
Cross-Cultural Communication Barriers
What are our attitudes, values, and beliefs, and what role do they play in communication with others from different cultures? Presentation for the state Association of International Educators
Cultural Awareness
The document outlines elements of cultural awareness that should be considered in the EFL classroom. It discusses the importance of understanding students' own cultural backgrounds as well as the cultural elements of the target language. It provides examples of cultural commonalities and differences that can be taught. The document also emphasizes developing intercultural awareness and comparing/contrasting different cultures to avoid portraying any one culture as superior. Suggested resources and activities are included to incorporate cultural learning.
Cultural awareness
Cultural awareness is important for understanding different perspectives and reducing cultural misunderstandings. Culture influences many aspects of life, including food, dress, social norms, and language. Being culturally aware involves learning about other cultures, being open-minded about cultural differences, and recognizing how culture shapes people's experiences. International students may experience culture shock when exposed to an unfamiliar culture due to differences in climate, rules, values, food, and social roles. Symptoms of culture shock include lethargy, boredom, withdrawal, homesickness, and irritability. People suffering from culture shock should be encouraged to socialize and talk about their feelings, and directed to support services if needed.
Chapter 4 cross cultural training
This document provides an overview of cross-cultural training. It discusses the role of training in supporting expatriate adjustment and performance. Effective pre-departure training includes cultural awareness, preliminary visits, language skills, and relocation assistance. Training can vary in rigor from short lectures to month-long experiential programs. Components of cross-cultural training include cultural orientation, language training, sensitivity training, and field experience. The document also examines conceptual frameworks for cross-cultural training, including models by Tung, Mendelhall & Oddou, and Black & Mendelhall.
Cross Cultural Communication
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and some of the differences in communication styles between high and low context cultures. It notes that culture is learned rather than inherent and can influence factors like preferred methods of interaction, understanding of verbal vs non-verbal cues, reasoning patterns, and formality. The document provides examples of high and low context cultures and lists some non-verbal communication behaviors and tips for effective cross-cultural communication.
Cross Cultural Communication
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and some of the differences in communication styles across cultures. It notes that culture influences visible communication styles, attitudes towards conflict, and decision making, as well as invisible beliefs, values, and expectations. Effective cross-cultural communication requires understanding these cultural differences, such as how eye contact, gestures, and topics of conversation are viewed differently. It also identifies some blocks to cross-cultural communication like stereotyping and cultural imposition. The document provides tips for overcoming differences and building trust across cultures, as well as precautions to take like slowing down, checking for understanding, and being mindful of humor and etiquette.

Cross cultural communication ppt
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and dealing with cultural conflicts in the workplace. It addresses how culture shapes our identities and how misunderstandings can arise from differing cultural norms between people. The document provides strategies for reducing uncertainty when communicating with strangers from different cultures, such as passively observing, actively seeking information, or directly interacting with them.

Cross Culture Communication
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and provides tips for improving it. There are four fundamental patterns of cultural difference: communication styles, attitudes toward conflicts, decision making, and approaches to knowledge. High context cultures rely heavily on non-verbal cues while low context cultures rely more on words. Gestures can have different meanings across cultures. Barriers to cross-cultural communication include ethnocentrism, discrimination, stereotyping, cultural blindness, and cultural imposition. Ways to improve include slowing down, separating questions, avoiding negatives, taking turns, checking meanings, and maintaining etiquette. Developing skills like respecting differences, building trust, understanding body language, and connecting with people can help overcome cultural barriers.

Diversity white paper
This document discusses diversity and inclusion in early childhood education. It notes that the US population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, with minorities projected to make up over half of all children by 2050. Early childhood educators must overcome personal biases and create inclusive classrooms to ensure children embrace differences. The Child Development Associate (CDA) credential addresses cultural development and requires candidates to support each child's cultural identity. The organization establishing the CDA has a division focused on multilingual and special needs candidates to promote access and diversity. The document examines best practices for incorporating cultural awareness and removing privilege to achieve inclusive early education.
Diversity White paper-Final
The document discusses how the US population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse over the coming decades. By 2050, white people are projected to make up less than half of the total population. This demographic shift will significantly impact early childhood education. Programs and educators will need to adopt practices that promote diversity and inclusion. The Child Development Associate credential already includes standards related to cultural development. However, more can be done to prepare early educators to work with diverse populations. This involves increasing self-awareness of biases, interacting with families from different cultures, and creating classroom environments and curricula that embrace diversity and condemn unfairness.
CTEL Module3
This document provides information about a CTEL (California Teachers of English Learners) module on culture and inclusion. It discusses key concepts like cultural thought patterns, sociolinguistic factors, oral discourse patterns, and the immigrant experience.

Immigration 1
Immigration laws in the US have changed over time, becoming more restrictive. Currently, the annual immigration limit is set at 675,000, though some family exceptions exist. President Obama is working to reform laws by strengthening border security and cracking down on employers of undocumented immigrants. There are about 1.8 million undocumented students in US schools, who are entitled to free K-12 education, but face barriers to affordable higher education. Immigration impacts classrooms both positively, through increased diversity, and negatively, with language and economic challenges for some students.

Currently, the annual immigration ceiling is set at 675,000, with exceptions for family members. The President is working to reform laws by strengthening border security and cracking down on employers hiring undocumented immigrants. There are an estimated 1.8 million undocumented students in US schools, who are entitled to free K-12 education but face barriers attending college.
Cultural competence in international adoption
Over 200,000 children from dozens of countries have been adopted internationally by American families in recent decades. While adoption rates have declined, thousands still occur annually. These adoptions often involve transracial placements that can be challenging as children must adjust to new cultures and identities. Current support services lack programs providing adoptive parents with attitudes, skills, and knowledge needed to promote positive ethnic identity development in their children. More is needed to address this issue and improve outcomes for international adoptees.

This proposal requests funding to expand the Children's Defense Fund Freedom School models of after-school and summer school programs in the Rochester Central School District. The Freedom School model provides academic enrichment with a literacy focus for low-income students, utilizing best practices including an integrated reading curriculum, servant leadership development, civic engagement, family involvement, and wellness activities. Evaluation data shows that Freedom School students significantly improve their literacy skills and love of reading. The proposal aims to address the lack of high-quality after-school programs in RCSD, where only 12% of eligible students currently have access, by expanding a program that has demonstrated success in the district.
