Understand The Importance Of Parent Interaction

There were three themes that emerged while I analyzed the interviews, vocabulary, parental involvement, and professional development. The findings of this case study may not be possible to use when comparing to the larger population of African American students, but I believe that the themes present might provide some insight for teachers, administrators, and parents on what causes African American to score lower on standardized testing when compared to other subgroups. These findings can help our African American students be successful on standardized testing.

To enable the children’s voices to be heard, I explored various tools to engage the children from the Mosaic approach (Clark & Moss 2001). I disregarded using questionnaires as the children were unable to read and write so this would have been inappropriate. I disregarded role play as I didn’t feel I would get the responses I needed as directly, and I decided not to use tours as not all the children were confident communicators and they may have found this difficult. I wanted to be as inclusive as possible and ensure the technique was age and development appropriate. Therefore I chose to gather documentation by enabling the children to use cameras to take photos outdoors of what they liked and didn’t like. To ensure confidentiality of the photos taken I kept them in my private locked filing cabinet that only myself and my manager had access to. As my research required the children’s perceptions this technique ensured it was child led as were the later discussion where we came together in a quiet area to talk about why they took their particular images. This discussion enabled me to interpret what they were trying to say to me through the photos. As we looked at the photos it prompted their memory of why they had taken the picture. It was an interactive way to engage the children, and by the children taking their own photos helped lead the

The notable framework that I have chosen to use is the Mosaic approach (Farrell, Tayler, Tennent, and Gahan, 2002), introduced by Clark and Moss (2001). The framework was established as part of a project that was investigating ways to increase methods on listening to young children who are under 8 years of age. The foundation for the framework is the use of multiple techniques that support all children with diverse abilities. The Mosaic approach (Clark and Moss, 2001) uses a range of techniques and methods that are aimed to provide choice to young children to how they wish to express their experiences. Some of the methods include the use of child friendly cameras, where the children take photos to signify their view and experiences, map-making, where children represent their experiences through drawing and leading a tour of their surroundings, role play, and ‘child conferencing’ (Clark and moss, 2001, p.26) where children have the freedom to voice their opinions alone or in groups.

In order to work in partnership with parents, practitioners should work very closely with the parents and carers of each individual child to make sure that there is continuity in provision in the setting and at home by inviting information about children’s interests, sharing information about learning activities, discussing children’s development and accessing children’s progress. Parents and carers are the most continuous adults in a child’s life and that makes the transition process easier for the child as long as they are kept informed about the transition process as the child progresses from the home setting through Foundation Phase settings and then into Key Stage

Discuss/write/Draw about differences- Educators can have activities such as drawing or painting. Children can be involved by the educators in discussion about themselves, their cultural differences and families. Drawing your own families’ picture and displaying them in the classroom for the families to view them can be done as a part of the

Everyone plays a major role in this meeting and they can contribute valuable information for the betterment of the child. All information given will be listened to and reviewed, and put into place, if applicable. The main focus of the meeting is to help Dominick become successful in the classroom. As we discuss the actions of the video and those in their perspective roles, we can determine the following:

This parent involvement policy has been mutually created by Austin’s High School and the parents of its students pursuant to Title I.

This website provides the five keys to having a successful communication with parents. When communicating with parents, at the start of the year they need to understand how you will keep contact. You should build a trusting relationship with the parent. You should assure parents that if there is a concern about the student, you will inform them. When a concern comes up, explain to the parents what strategies have taken

First, I believe each child has potential to learn things. I am more nature perspective. I will observe each child carefully and find out their needs and wants. My value of the children is to stay curious and explore. I will ask the children open- end questions to expand their thoughts. For example, when a child cannot play a Hula hoop the way we swing around the hips, I will become an active listening and ask open- ended question. I will ask her “ You seem to be hard time swing the Hula hoop. How can we play in different a way with Hula hoop?” We both think for while. If she can not come up with any idea. I suggest, “ How about setting up the Hula hoops on the ground with at different distances?” She starts to jumping and hopping into them. Hopefully she can create by herself next time. I use R and R messages”

According to statistics, approximately two to three out of every one thousand babies in America will be born deaf. 9 out of 10 of these children are born to hearing parents. When a deaf child cannot communicate with the parents or caregivers, and the parents have minimal interaction with them, childhood development is severely compromised. Impaired hearing can cause children to have a deficiency in essential life skills, which may stay with them until adulthood. However, educating parents with deaf children and cooperating with care groups will have a positive impact on the deaf child’s socials skills, which in turn will have a significant effect on the child’s life.

One of the common challenges among educators is effectively working with parents that have students with disabilities. In several cases there is a lack of communication or disconnect that hinders parent and teacher relationships; resulting in minimal communication that harms the child’s success. The article, “Guidelines for Successful Parent Involvement” by Kelli Staples and Jennifer Diliberto addresses several different techniques and methods for effectively working with parents of those students who have disabilities in the classroom. The authors not only bring in numerous research based examples regarding parent involvement, but provide multiple tips for involving parents in various classroom and school activities.

When it comes to raising a kid every parent wants to be the best parent. Many of them wonder if they are giving the right environment for the physical and behavioral growth of their kids. The reality is; most parents do not remain the best parents or at least good parents.

Many children are taught by the actions that adults take. Throughout a child’s lifetime, one comes in contact with many adults. These adults often attract the attention of the children that have met them. Unaware of a peeping eye and how strongly they can influence a child, adults live their daily lives and participate in their usual routines. One living his life as an optimist with good morals and values will affect the outcome of a child when he is an adult differently than one who is a pessimist and has no morals or values. An adult’s influence affects child development because parents guide a child’s potential, unsupervised children become teenage parents, and good examples help to create social skills.

This paper is a peer review academic critique of parent involvement modeling written by Laura Crothers, Jered Kolbert, and Danielle Schultz (2010) entitled: Bullying prevention and parent involvement modeling. The purpose of this article is parent involvement being used in a bullying program. My evaluating/ critique of this article is to study the involvement of parents being a positive role model in children’s lives. My main concern is to find ways that will help children who is being bullied by their peers.
