Understanding the Influence of
Culture on Caregiving Practices • • •
From the Inside Out
Lisa and Danielle are collegial
coteachers in an infant and tod-
dler classroom. Occasionally
what seem like minor Issues
cause them to make some
pointed comments that silence
them both. For example, Lisa
believes that babies need to
be held and cuddled as often
as possible; she carries them
throughout the day or picks
them up at the first sign of fuss-
iness. She frequently observes
aloud, "Babies need lots of
love and attention." Danielle
responds by rolling her eyes
and saying, "They also need
to learn to soothe themselves.
You're going to spoil them if
you pick them up and carry
them all the time."
Their different views about
feeding can also lead to minor
conflicts. Lisa refuses to let
babies eat with their fingers.
She thinks they won't get
enough to eat and that it's too
messy. Danielle lets babies pick
up food off their trays as soon
as they are able, stating that "it
helps them to deveiop indepen-
dence and small muscles."
Why do Lisa and Danielle
each get exasperated with the
other's "illogical" way of think-
ing? Their own upbringings
and cultural perspectives about
children influence their views
on everyday activities such as
holding, responding to, and
feeding infants and toddlers.

Everyone bring^s specific vaiues,
beliefs, and assumptions about child recir-
ing and child development to their work
with infants and toddlers. Even two teach-
ers who share the same ethnic culture may
not share the same beliefs about what is
best for young children. Conflicts around
these issues can arise with colleagues and
families in early care and education pro-
grams. Recognizing and acknowledging
another person's point of view and coming
to a shared solution is critical in providing
high-quality care to infants and toddlers.
The roots of caregiving
It is helpful to understand and explore
two particular areas when caring for infants
and toddlers—self-knowledge and knowl-
edge of culturally informed teaching (Abt-
Perkins & Rosen 2000).
Self-knowledge
Self-knowledge is defined here as "a thor-
ough understanding of one's own cultural
roots and group affiliations" (Haberman
& Post 1998). Before we as teachers can
address the needs of very young children,
we must first become more aware of our
own cultural beliefs and practices. By taking
a good look at our early relationships and
childhood experiences, we can recognize
the influence that these factors have on our
role as caregivers, as well as on our feel-
ings, attitudes, and beliefs about children.
The people we were close to as we grew
up—and our experiences with them—shape
who we are today. Most of us still believe
much of what those special people taught
us about ourseives, other people, and the
world. The messages our caregivers con-

cultures, beliefs, values, ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Dear School Administrators,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who was, who is and who is to come!
I write in defense of sixth grader Faith Fennidy who was recently handled in what I observed to be one of the
most unfeeling, uncaring and non-Christian manners that I have witnessed in education.
To be clear, as one who has worked closely with education administrators over the years, I understand the need
to establish and uphold policy in order to address the many issues that arise during the course of a school day
and during the educational process. However, any policy that singles out groups or ethnicities either covertly or
directly should be rejected first, based on human decency, and further, (within a Christian based education
environment) tempered by a healthy version of biblical Christianity.
Unfortunately, I and others around the country witnessed just the opposite from you and your school. We did not
observe either human decency or a sound Christian witness in your response to Faith’s “alleged” violation of
your dress policy contained on pg. 18 of your 2018-2019 Student Handbook.
To be frank, your policy on hair, in this regard, is indeed RACIST and is targeted towards ethnic groups in
which you are aware, are more likely to wear their hair in such a fashion where extensions and braids are used.
Your rule appears to be a covert policy used to subjugate children, not only to assure sound education, but to
assure conformity to your ethnic and social values and to deculturalize the individual or student.
2. There is a balm in gilead
Imbkcac.wixsite.com/imbkcac
Further, after examining your policy, it seems that there is evidence that the intent of your effort, at least in this
student’s case, was to single her out for some reason and make her, and potentially others “like” her, an
example. I come to that conclusion because your policy in its preamble states the following on pg. 2 of the
handbook:
“ The Principal has the authority to use discretion in making decisions regarding unforeseen
circumstances. The Principal may also amend the student handbook as necessary.”
This would mean, that the Principal has the leeway and right to amend policy or withhold discipline until there
is such a time that said policy and actions could be discussed. In other words, the only reason I and millions of
others around the country know about this today, is because your administration made it an issue. You chose to
be confrontational over a racist and ethnically biased policy in effort to send a message not only to your school’s
students, but to the world in general.
Specifically, to do this under the guise of “Christianity” and “education” are both offensive to me and millions
of other Christians like me. Your actions are anything but Christian, and the effort is anything but education. As
previously stated, your efforts are about subjugation and your willingness to withhold education based on your
cultural bias is not only unloving but also too fantastic to believe.
We are involved because this is ABUSE! The Catholic Church, as Pope Francis recently said “abandoned the
little ones” Although that was said of the rampant sexual abuse that took place in Pennsylvania over the last 70
years, it is evident that similar abandonment, in the name of educational policy, is happening to certain ethnic
groups associated with your school. Yours is educational abuse. Yours is abuse of power and authority in a lust
for deculturalization based on your view of what culture should look like and appear to be.
We believe that you can correct this situation, by first removing such racially targeted and ethnically centered
language and bias from your school policy. If the aim and effort of your school is truly “diversity” and inclusion
as your website material suggests, I would suspect that you would be engaged in immediately correcting your
error of judgment and affirming your Parrish’s commitment to the entire community as opposed to only a select
part of it that fits your targeted views.
Secondly, as a parent, I would want a full apology from the school, along with an amended and corrected record
to reflect that this student was not at fault for any action. I would also want extra care taken to avoid retaliation
in any manner from both staff and or fellow students.
3. There is a balm in gilead
Imbkcac.wixsite.com/imbkcac
Finally, as a community member, I would demand that you select a diverse group of parents to be a part of
future policy making for your school. The parents should have input, across the board, in policy making that
affects their children and other students and they should be represented in a diverse manner.
I understand that you are not a public school. However, you are “supposedly” Christian. As a Christian, I can
say that Christ’s efforts of liberation first reconditioned our hearts to make us compassionate removing
obstinance of mind and feeling far from us. It is to those Christian values and virtues that I appeal.
At a time, when the educational environment is so vitally important to all of us, I am moved with compassion,
as I saw a baby crying because she was cheated and denied her rights to an education in an environment that she
is comfortable in.
It is my desire that you would respond to this letter and many other requests that I am sure that you have
received in a restorative and courageous manner representative of our shared Christian beliefs, by taking swift
action to love this child and her family and take responsibility for your actions.
Heal the young lady and her family. Become a partner in education and not an adversary. Bury stereotypes and
negative perceptions and whatever I or my organization can do to partner and help make the environment a
winning one for all of us, please let me know.
Thank you and may the Lord bless you with courage to act.
In HIS Service,
Supt. Harvey Burnett
