Cultural Competency Policy

The Board of Directors of South Region Parents as Teachers Society believes that in order to offer quality programs and services to children and families in southwest Alberta they must be delivered in a culturally competent manner and that all cultures must be openly welcomed and valued. It is our belief that:

all families have strengths and challenges
all families have a culture that guides their behaviour
all families uniquely contribute to the broader community through their culture
our similarities as humans are as important as our cultural differences
that learning begins at birth, that learning is life long, and that learning is reciprocal
that reciprocity in learning leads to the spirit of friendship and understanding
that for one to be a lifelong learner one must have vigilant and childlike curiosity
that to be responsible we must first be responsive
that there is no way to diversity - diversity is the way
the richness of all cultures deeply enriches our lives
in building on the foundation of appreciation and understanding
that embracing multiculturalism will improve our ability to develop and enhance the value of our work
we can grow an organizational culture that lives these beliefs
