Book excerpt: This guide to fostering parent-teacher cooperation in the education of children with special needs, especially children with learning disabilities, offers a structure and process to maximize the effectiveness of parent-teacher meetings and other forms of communication. An introductory background chapter reviews the history of special education, testing issues, and placement and instruction issues. Specific attention is given to the state of the learning disability field. The eight chapters following the introduction each consider different aspects of the parent-teacher relationship. Discussions focus on: (1) parents as agents of change (their attitudes, adjustment, and advocacy role); (2) a structure for parent-teacher conferences (it is proposed that these should cover the child's social/emotional, physical, and academic behavior); (3) the steps in the conference process (observing, planning, implementing, evaluating, and modifying); (4) the development of thinking skills; (5) oral and written language development as parallel social interaction communication skills; (6) other factors that impact learning (e.g., changing expectations and school demands, regular classroom placement); and (7) other factors that influence educational outcomes (e.g., attitudes, beliefs, and commitments). The final chapter provides a review of the book's principles, emphasizing parent-teacher cooperation in the academic and social/emotional development of the child. (Contains 45 references.) (DB)
Download or read book Professional Collaboration with Parents of Children with Disabilities written by Louise Porter and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-10-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of professionals with children with disabilities affects the children's family, while events at home affect what professionals can achieve with the children. This text describes how professionals can form collaborative relationships with the parents of the children in their care, to optimise the children's development and to enable both family members and professionals to work in the children's interests. It describes experiences of families who have a child with a disability and takes a new look at old assumptions that disability necessarily has a negative effect on families or that families themselves are in need of therapy simply by virtue of having a child with additional needs. This text offers practical insights and guidelines for action by teachers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists and psychologists. It is a practical text that enables practitioners to offer a high-quality service to children while supporting the family in its role of nurturing their child with special needs.
Download or read book The Effects of a Collaborative Parent teacher Social Skills Intervention on Student Behavioral Performance written by Christina Yvette Christian and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multiple baseline across behaviors design explored the effects of parent-teacher collaboration on the behavioral performance of three kindergarten and first grade participants. Teachers and parents in this study collaborated to implement daily lessons using the HOPE Social Skills Curriculum. Data on each participant's behavior were collected across three phases (baseline, intervention, and maintenance) using direct observations, class pass and office referral data. In addition, treatment fidelity and social validity data were collected to determine the extent to which parents and teachers correctly implemented each lesson and to what degree each validated the curriculum. Findings suggest that HOPE Social Skills Curriculum has the potential to effectively increase participants' rule compliance while decreasing class pass and office referrals. Finally, the results show that both parents and teachers socially validate HOPE Social Skills Curriculum.

Download or read book Parent perspective on the parent teacher relationship in the case of parents of children with special needs in Doha Qatar written by Corinne Lorence and published by . This book was released on with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent-teacher partnership is a key element to student achievement and success. While there is a large body of literature that supports the importance of parent-teacher partnership, and literature capturing teacher and parent perspectives alike, there are fewer studies involving perspectives of parents of children with special needs in the Middle East. This qualitative study sought the perspectives of such parents living in a small country in the Middle East. Three mothers of children who attended a special education school were interviewed, and the data was transcribed and analyzed for emerging themes. Despite their diverse backgrounds, participants shared a love for learning, difficulties with their children’s schools, and high expectations for their own involvement in schools. The researcher found parents’ resolve to partner with teachers encouraging. More research regarding parent perspectives would prove helpful to teachers as they seek to build partnerships with parents.

Download or read book Problem solving Parent Conferences in Schools written by Dennis J. Simon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem-Solving Parent Conferences in Schools presents a Problem-solving Parent Conference (PPC) model that integrates and applies empirically-supported systemic and behavioral intervention strategies to coordinated home-school interventions for student behavioral and social-emotional concerns. Though today's schools seek to further understand student behaviors from ecological and systemic perspectives, there are limited resources available on how to effectively collaborate with families--a key social-environmental context. This unique book engages parents and teachers in a five-stage protocol towards more effective student support. These evidence-based, change-oriented approaches will be essential for graduate students in school psychology, school social work, and school counseling programs; in teacher preparation; and in any related course focused on parents and families in school settings. Its resources are also critical for mental health practitioners who work with children, adolescents, families, and schools.
