Unit 2 Assignment 1 At Home Learning Environment

Family involvement plays a major role when helping students prosper in the school setting. In order for children to be successful, as a teacher, we have to provide support to the parent’s to make an effort in wanting to play apart in that success. Communication plays a major part in the effective relationship between families and school. Giving the parents a sense of idea as to how their child is doing in school is built through the student’s academic needs.

The school will thrive with the goodwill of the parents and it is therefore vital that the home-school relationship remains positive at all times.

Many schools want to incorporate a powerful and positive parent involvement community, yet face a challenge in how to implement effective strategies to involve parents in helping students reach academic achievement. I believe parents want the very best for their child, even if they do not know how to go about helping their child reach success. Students come to school with countless attributes that I may or may not acknowledge, yet parents know the many accolades about their child that I must embrace. As I build a partnership with families, we become a partnership in their child’s education. We begin to collaborate to ensure the student maximizes

As a result of the location of the school in a suburban community, the parents are very actively involved in the school. As a result of the active of the supportive parents in the community, the students arrived every day with a smile on their faces and generally prepared for learning. However, as with

Probably one of the most important issues when it comes to Family/Community Partnership is trying to get the families/community involved in what we are doing. By engaging parents, it will help us to see what we are lacking and what we need to do in order to have our families fully engaged. I feel that if our families/communities are not engaged in our program then we need to reevaluate in order to encourage their participation. By reevaluating our program we can further access what we need to work on. If parents/communities feel that they are not valued as part of our team, they won’t engage in our program. Both the parents and the community play a big role in the education of our children. Parents are their first teachers and the communities have valuable resources for the children.

An aspect of my teaching that I am interested in making more effective is my ability to engage and involve parents in their children’s learning and development.

I am quite fortunate to work at a site that I was able to be part of creating our school’s vision. Lorena Falasco Elementary School’s mission statement is: “In partnership with our community, Lorena Falasco Elementary School is committed to creating a safe and positive environment with high expectations that encourage success and lifelong learning for everyone.” With that in mind, parent education and involvement are crucial for a school to be successful in doing so. At this time I am co-leading a parent education class that is being held at Lorena Falasco Elementary School we have completed seven of the eight workshops. The parenting workshop combines parenting and leadership skills that will empower parents to become vital contributors to their children’s academic success. There are eight workshops that we will present, which will create parent leaders and also provide positive

The most direct and meaningful impact on children’s education and advancement of social competence comes from parents and families. Students work harder, excel more, show attitudes and behavior that is positive, and feel at ease in new settings. Educators must connect to families so that they may develop relationships that employ them as active partners in their children’s learning

Although it is important for families to be involved with their child’s school, school personnel should also strive to create a positive interaction with families of students. Carl Dunst (2002) states that school and parent collaboration is necessary, and if schools take on a more family-centered approach, it will help create a supportive environment and help to strengthen a family’s capacity to enhance and promote a child’s development and learning.

I want to set up five goals in order to help my students to overcome those obstacles through many activities in my classroom. I intend to learn everything possible about my students and their families’ background knowledge and culture to create a frame in order to respect their culture, their language and the students’ identity. I intend to encourage parents to participate directly into their children education. I intend to create a parent-teacher conferences

Positive relationships between parents and school exert significant influences on the essential foundations of support for children’s learning and development. Children develop within multiple frameworks; therefore, advancement and learning are optimized when schools establish networks with parents. The purpose of this qualitative, multi-site case study was to examine levels of parent involvement and the impact it had on academic achievement among students attending a high poverty, rural school. The aims within this study were to characterize barriers and obstacles preventing parents from participating in the education process as a method for reducing the learning gaps displayed among student’s enrolled in 6th – 12th grades. A qualitative,

Parental involvement in education is a vital essential for creating a cooperative environment for the student to thrive and succeed in. When a student knows that he or she is receiving support both inside and outside the school, the chances of that child becoming responsible for and active in their education are more likely. I know that there can be difficulties including parents for many reasons. Such parents may be too busy, uninterested or just feel helpless. However, as an educator, I will still have an obligation to reach out to these parents and assist them.

Successful communication is particularly crucial when forming supportive and respectful relationships with our students and their respective parents. During my practical experience I noticed a number of collaborative initiatives that were implemented

I believe successful teachers develop a strong partnership with students’ parents. Having clear communication with parents can play a significant role in a child’s education. It is also the best way to avoid misunderstandings from the beginning of
