Download or read book Organizing a Successful Family Center in Your School A Resource Guide Revised 2005 written by Wisconsin. Department of Public Instruction and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet was developed to help school staff members, parents, and community leaders understand how family centers can promote family participation and strengthen their schools. It also serves as a guide to establishing family centers. The term, family center, is used throughout this booklet, although many schools prefer to call their center another name. Whatever its name, a successful family center allows families to feel a sense of ownership in the school; to feel like insiders. The family center permits school staff members and families to establish relationships, programs, and activities to help children succeed academically, emotionally, and socially. To achieve that success, parents and other community members interested in the school must help create the center. The term, parent, refers to any caregiver who assumes responsibility for nurturing and caring for children. How a school family center is started and run reveals a great deal about the school's overall relationship with families and the community in promoting student learning. Schools with an effective program of parent involvement welcome parents and other family members as decision makers, collaborators, volunteers, communicators, instructors, and advocates in their children's learning. Appended are: (1) Web Resources for School Family Centers; (2) Schools that Say, "Welcome!"; (3) Ten Things Parents Want School Staff to Know; (4) DPI Policy on Family-School-Community Partnerships; and (5) Measuring Your Family-School-Community Partnerships.

Book excerpt: Successful transition from school to adult life has always been difficult for people with disabilities, especially in the area of employment. The vast majority of people with disabilities are either unemployed or underemployed with low wages and few benefits, and many governments are struggling to find a way of providing employment and benefits to people with disabilities without creating disincentives to work. This book provides strategies and ideas for improving the lives of people with disabilities, exploring new ways of enabling a successful transition to an integrated adult working life by providing effective instruction and support. Following an introduction which outlines the importance of transition services and meaningful outcomes, topics covered in the remaining chapters include: Person Centered Transition Planning; Enhancing Competence and Independence; Employment Assessment and Career Development; Collaboration between Agencies for a Seamless Transition; Independent Living and Supported Living; and Community Functioning Skills. The book will be of interest to all those who work with transition age students as well as those who work with adults with disabilities and want to enable them to have the best life possible. To paraphrase Helen Keller "people with disabilities not only need to be given lives, they need to be given lives worth living."
