Competency Goal To Establish Positive And Productive Relationships With Families
Competency Goal IV- To establish positive and productive relationships with families Families
I am a firm believer in the fact that students, whose parents and/or families are involved in their education, are more successful not only in school but in life. I always try to encourage families to be a part of their child’s education and skill building. There are so many ways in which the Center provides opportunities for the families to interact and communicate with the teachers and staff that are taking care of and teaching their children.
One of the ways that I help encourage the parents to get involved with the Center and staff is by sending reminders home about when there will be a parent meeting, open house, or resource fair. These reminders are great for the parents to have so they remember the date and time of the event. By giving the parent the reminder it gives me a chance to also talk to them about what is going to be happening at the event, that way they understand the whole story and I get to keep that communication open between us. Having the parents come in to the events is great, it allows them to see the people that interact with their

I am constantly reminding parents when they pick up and/or drop off their children that they are always more than welcome to come in and volunteer. When talking to parents about volunteering I let them know what a great impact it has on their children when they do take the time to come in and volunteer in their child’s classroom. It’s also great for the parents as well; they get the chance to see where their children spend most of their day and see the different activities they do and games they play with the teachers and staff. I think volunteering is a wonderful thing for parents to do, for not only their children, but for themselves and also the

    by embedding my teaching practices throughout the day. Remaining sensitive to children’s needs helps them feel secure and confident, and acts as a model for effective social behavior. For example, I usually ask questions to help children find a solution to a social conflict that helps them develop problem-solving skills. I also tend to every day read a story and engage children in a conversation about a socially challenging situation witch serve as a lesson in handling social problems as well as in literacy.…

    I would hold optional parent-meeting bimonthly, though politely approaching the parents to attend at least one of the brief meetings. However, it is important to note that the vast majority of parents have varying, jampacked schedules. Therefore, in an effort to accommodate their needs and ensure they are up to date on classroom events, I would send out weekly newsletters. I would also provide the option of a hard-copy or email updates. Some parents prefer to have a hard-copy of the events so they can “see it on paper”, whereas other parents would simply prefer to have it emailed to them. For the parents that prefers to have hardcopies, I would send it home with the children in their take-home packets and follow up with the parents to ensure they have received them. The email newsletter would be a simple mass email, though I would also send individualized emails to parents as need be. Family-capacity building can be defined as “when professionals work in close collaboration with families to uncover each family members’ goals and wishes for the children” (p. 248). Family-capacity building is unique to each family because each family has a different dynamic and operates differently. I have not had the opportunity to try out any of these strategies yet, though I hope they can reach a wide variety of families, particularly when they seem distant or uninvolved in the classroom. Interacting…

    Volunteering should be encouraged but not to the point where it becomes a stressful thing. For example nobody would want to donate the little time they have due to school, work, babysitting, etc so why should there more work to add on? Not much good comes out of it if one is being forced into doing something they don’t want to do in the first place. Many would rush all other work just because of the amount of work they are…

    To promote involvement and positive relationships with families and communities I believe that an open door policy is essential to have. I would do this by talking with the parents every day at drop off and pick up time. During the morning drop off time I would be able to find out how the previous afternoon went, if I wasn't there to see it myself, and how the child slept the previous night. I could also find out whether or not the child ate breakfast. During afternoon pick up time I would be able to tell the parent how the child's day went. I would also keep daily sheets for each child that would include bathroom breaks, what and how much the child ate throughout the day, as well as any concerns or questions I might have about the child. Another way I would keep the open door policy is by sending home a weekly newsletter informing the parents of what would be going on that week in the classroom. I would encourage parents to call the center or stop by to see how things are going for the child. I know that when parents are working they, often times, wonder about the child's day. By calling or stopping by they are able to peek in on the child and get updates are how the day is going. I would also encourage parents to attend any special event that the child is apart of, such as Christmas programs. The parents would, also, be more than welcome to have lunch with the child on his or her birthday if they are available to do so. I believe that, as a teacher, it is important to be the support system for the child while he or she is at school and while the parents are away at work. If the parents are working on something, such as using manners or potty training, I would be more than willing to help them by reinforcing that task while the child is at school. It is very important for both the child and the parents to have consistency in their daily routine. I believe that by…

    Validation is a very useful communication skill for your professional and personal life. I surprised myself that I have not thought of this perspective prior to now. Simply put, a person will not be comfortable and open to your comments until they feel they have been heard and understood. Wow! That makes perfect sense once you digest this thought. In a lot of settings, professional and personal, we are listening to another’s comments but not always digesting their feelings. I can find myself thinking of how to solve their issue or how to make their situation better. If I do not allow their comments to sit for a moment before I respond, the other person(s) might not believe I truly understand them or their need. It is so often in our professional setting we encounter repetitive situations and therefore already know a solution or a suggested solution. If the other party does not feel I am actively listening and considering what I am being told they are not going to receive my response fully because they feel they have not been heard. “Validation affirms that the nurse is both listening and hearing. If affirms that the individual and the relationship are important to the nurse even in the presences of disagreement.” (Harvey, 144) Think about it. If…

    How I ensure that families are kept aware of what’s happening in their child’s daily/ or weekly life in my program is by having room displays such as photos and posters of the children interacting with each other and bulletin boards of their artwork all around my center. I would also post pictures of the children dancing and laughing around my class to show the parents the fun things we do. I would also post pictures of them working to show the children’s parents that my children are getting educated and that my children are learning. I am also able to provide the families with my weekly agenda of what the children and I will be working on. I can also exchange emails with the families to communicate via email, if they have any questions we can also exchange numbers. I can also provide daily reports of the child’s daily progress. I can also include and struggle the child has had during the day.…

    A lot of junior high schools and high schools around the country require students to have a certain number of hours each semester in volunteering around their community. They believe that it is a good idea because it promotes good citizenship and cultivate skills. I do agree that it helps students build character and it gets them volunteer hours, but I also believe that if you require someone to volunteer it’s not really volunteering. That sounds like forced volunteerism to me. But I also think that this can help a kid venture out of his or her comfort zone.…
