Miss Lisa makes monthly scheduled parent meetings. The meetings consist of all the parents going to to the classroom early before the class begins. She discusses the lessons she had been giving their children and what they have been learning from them. She understands that not all the parents are able nor available in the mornings. She makes it known to the parents that if they would like to meet at a later time or another day she would have no problem rescheduling to make it possible for her to have that meeting with the parent(s).
Good communication skills are essential for childcare professionals, because they help them to develop relationships and demonstrate that they care. We communicate with parents, professionals and children. Ways in which we do this are:- • Daily Diaries – all children have a daily diary. Their key person will write in what the child has ate and drank, how long they have slept for, when their nappies have been changed or if they have had any accidents and what activities they have participated in throughout the day. The staff will also write in any messages for the parents, e.g.
In this meeting we will be educating parents about the different forms of abuse namely physical, verbal and emotional abuse. This will be discussed with students as well, We will inform the parent/guardian of their child’s participation to make sure the parent is aware of their child’s response should there be a lack of interest or any concerns thereof, we will inform the respective parents or guardians. In the event that a teacher suspects that a child is being abused or any indication of neglect, the teacher will make a note in the learner’s diary to contact the parent. The process is as follows: The child is first identified by the teacher who then addresses it to the school principal. If the principal is in agreement with the teacher, the parent/ guardian will be contacted by the principal.
They can react to the way she is feeling and they can get an answer to a question right there. They get to form a closer bond with her and get a lot of 1 on 1 time with her. Her online class never understands when she is sick or she takes a vacation day from school. They email her questions about the syllabus and some of the assignments in the class room and it take time for her to email them back and sometimes they just don’t understand that the online teacher is not feeling well or out of office for today. In the classroom students can’t choose what they want to do.
She is required to submit her lesson plans to the principle for approval every week. Mrs. Mills plans using a model similar to the Zone of Proximal Development by providing guidance and assistance to teach her students. She also uses scaffolding to encourage the student to do the work on his/her own. Mrs. Mills does not have an assistant. Therefore, it is difficult to give each student the attention he/she deserves.
During my placement if a parent was to ask me something I didn’t know how to answer, or didn’t feel it was my role to respond, then I knew who to refer them to in order for the appropriate staff to be involved. In one occasion I was given some information - by a parent who was picking up their child early, who I was waiting with and there to greet the parent – about who would be collecting their child from school the next few days, which I was asked to give to the class teacher, I did this straight after so that the teacher had the important information. I think a way in which to come across professional to parents as a student, when an enquiry was made to me which I couldn’t answer, was to explain that although I wasn’t aware of that information I could refer them to which member of staff was aware straight away, this meant I was helping to the point that I could which resulted in the parents enquiry being answered by the appropriate member of staff, instead of just responding to the parent that I couldn’t answer but not helping them out by referring them to who
I have seen this at placement where they run parent consolation’s twice a term, and if the teacher needs to see the primary career, they arrange meeting. By providing a positive environment the practitioner is making the children feel at ease or more comfortable then if they were to be sitting at a desk, with no work or colour in the room. By making the
Parents of English Language Learner (ELL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) students have significant communication challenges impacting their lives. Imagine how different your life would be if you spoke no English, and your child was in charge. Social cultural influences effect how all people interact with one another. Children raised in the dominant culture understand what type of behavior is expected in school and other social situations. At home families' traditions, discipline styles, attitudes toward education, and prejudices are very different.
They are also encouraged to speak with staff at the schools they attend, so that they may be provided the most productive environment possible. Patients generally have trouble in social situations, and will do much better if they have the proper stimulation at home from an early age (Nielsen, 1998). If parents submerse their children in group interactions at a young age, it will aid in diminishing the problems they have in social situations. Parents are also encouraged to place these girls in pre-school rather then waiting for kindergarten. Girls with delayed speech development should see a speech therapist (Nielsen, 1998).
This is why I’m trying to find ways to help other before they dropout. Family need to do more with their children, like ask question talk with the teachers find things that would allow them to be a part of their life. The program needs to be one that would help a child before he or she start falling behind, we need to make a change today for the children of tomorrow. The state need to stop cutting back on after school programs that offer help with reading and writing they also need to set-up a program that offer free classes for parent’s so that they are able to help their children at home with homework . Also this system should have program which older children can help the younger children with their reading and writing, math etc.
