Scenario Response 2

If I had a student enter my class from another country I would first try to learn as much as I can about their cultural norms and beliefs. Once I get an understanding about our new student I can then go over our classroom rules and expectations.  I will also communicate with my class how our new student perceive things because of their divergent cultural beliefs.  I would strongly encourage our class family to be patient and helpful to our new student.  I would ask some of my most friendly helpful students to guide and support our new student. I will also communicate any important information to other teachers and staff that come in contact with the student.  I have found that communicating with the special area teachers about students can be very helpful for them and the student.
