Caring for Children: Effective Communication for CALD Workers DVD & CD

Description

Caring for Children is a DVD resource developed to address the workplace communication needs and cross cultural issues faced by CALD workers in the child care industry.

We follow a CALD worker, Lul Deng, in the early days of her employment in a child care centre and see a range of interactions with staff and children. These interactions highlight models of good practice in the workplace and demonstrate a range of employability skills.

The accompanying Trainer Guide presents activities based on the DVD scenarios, and includes topics such as:

•  talking to children, colleagues and parents
• contributing to a team
• working with diverse cultural practices
• recognising and following workplace instructions
• showing independence and initiative
• reading child care documents.
