Your comment reminds me that I've been meaning to respond to the comment that the Standards/Role Maps would need to be translated not just into other languages, but through other cultures. I think this would mean looking again at the EFF original data samples to see how many cultures might already have been represented. And I accept the point also made that adult learners need to understand the expectations of "American culture," but that assumes that there is such a thing. We might perhaps look at how other cultures view the role maps especially, not perhaps in view of changing the maps, but in pointing out to practitioners where the cultural differences would surface. Thanks for the comment reminding us that we serve not just those from other countries, but those in our own country who have had a significant culture for longer than Europeans and other settlers have been here.
