A child recently immigrated and is now in your class

1. We can welcome this child in into our class community by assuring them of our inclusive views and teaching others in the class to be accepting.

2. We can celebrate this child’s unique characteristics by doing exactly that, celebrating it. Refraining for discouraging the child, and creating catered activities.

3. We can help the other children get to know this child but firstly creating a welcoming environment from the start, implementing dos and don’t for the children to adhere to, and creating activities the children can play together in order to foster a relationship.

1. What did you discover about the WACs while completing the activity? Upon reviewing the document I discovered that the WACs were pertinent to the previous chapters relating to intent, authority, safety, professionalism, presentability, etc.. were all found in the reading and in great detail that ensures understanding for first time readers.
2. Were you surprised by any of the WACs? Yes, I was surprised by WAC 110-300-
   0005 childhood outcomes; the standards alignment principles, I’ve reviewed briefly about the principles required to meet however this chapter delved deeper into the evaluation/ observation process, cultural humility, transparency, and even equity/community impact. All values that are important yet rarely showcase in detail. The chapter especially notes how important these skills and knowledge is to your day to day work life.
3. Can you see how the WACs will influence your day-to-day practice in caring for children? Why or why not? Yes, the WACs are an important part of outlining the goals you must meet, the structure of care, quality of care, and even the level of professionalism/ professional development required of an individual.
