The culturally competent teacher involves and works with families and community resources, understanding the differences in families, the important influence of family participation in students’ learning, and the benefit of collaborating with the wider school community. Imagine that you are the teacher of this classroom. What challenges might you encounter in collaborating with the parents of your students? How might you address these challenges? How might you demonstrate respect for the concerns or contributions of parents?

As a teacher I know that I will have students with different parents, who they are all brought up differently, and I am sure that they will all raise their children differently. I hope that as a teacher, I will nottell a student that what they are doing or the way they are talking is wrong. I hope that I will be able to tell my students in a nice way that in school we do don't act or talk that way.
I think it is very difficult to talk to parents but I hope that I will be able to have a good communication with the parents of my students.
