Making the Most of Your Revista Lamaze: Culturally Responsive Teaching for Hispanic Clients

摘要

The traditional classroom in many Latin American countries does not overtly support an environment of discussion, reflection, and analysis—the foundation of a Lamaze education. Even when working with couples from cultures that reflect learning styles different from our own, it is possible for the childbirth educator to be faithful to the goals of Lamaze education by changing the way in which information is presented and by encouraging learner participation. By using Revista Lamaze, combined with culturally appropriate teaching techniques, a childbirth educator can successfully educate Hispanic couples without offending their culture.
