ReplyDeleteI found many great tips on how to get parents involved in thier child's education. I especially liked the section on how teachers can draw and attract parent participation as well as the additional suggestions for building productive parent partnerships.
I will be taking this website and sharing it with my peers in attempts to create more parent involvement.
Love it <3
I too chose resources advocating parent and family envolvement. I just recently attended a conference in Chicago that centered around " The Head Start Family, and Community Engagement Framework.
ReplyDeleteI like the arrangement you have made to listing some ECS resources. For me , I have found some new and interesting things in the field. There is some information that just confirms my way of thinking on several issues . Nice Job !!
ReplyDeleteThanks you all, @Ercika I admire articles that can help me to involve my parents because they are young as most think that we just baby sit their child. We are giving them early interventions to explore their learning environment. @Sandra, parent and family involvement in a serious issue when living in society today. Families don't get together and sit around the table to eat and communicate with each other. Thanks again Loretta!
