Collaborating with Multicultural Students and their Family

Since parenting is imperative in molding the personality of the children, then it would be of good idea to engage families in children's learning in school. The schools, at the same time, must develop and guide children in a manner compatible with local approaches to parental and school authority relations. In addition thereto, school curriculum should, in a way, geared towards local knowledge and ways of learning. This is because each locality has its own diversity and culture to be adopted. A general approach on curriculum may not be effective as it may not be suitable in one locality. Curriculum must be locally based approach in order to lessen different types of diversities.

It is a great challenge if collaboration is done among students, their educators and their families. Let us take note that many students, particularly those young adults discourage parents from personal involvement in school as they would rather show to the world that they are grown up and could live independently. However, said collaboration can help the students, educators and the students’ families in navigating for more learning.

Another kind of diversity in some school involves students whose mother or father is a military personnel. These students find difficulty due to parents’ transfer from one place to another, thus facing repeated struggles settling in to new schools and communities. Due to transfer from one place of assignment to another, students face regular disruption of their homes. More problems ranging from the effect of parents’ absences to lack of parents’ guidance arise when either or both parents are posted to a distant place.
