Download or read book The Home School Connection written by Bonnie J. Pryor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1996 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper, written by a school administrator to parents, discusses parents' role in creating a positive educational environment, from providing a structured home life to volunteering in their child's classroom. The paper begins by asserting that a primary cause of behavior problems in the classroom is parent-child relationships in which the child, rather than the parent, is dominant, thereby creating students who believe they should be the center of attention. Society's focus on instant gratification and working parents' guilt are also mentioned as contributors to behavior problems. The paper recommends sure, firm, and consistent discipline, inside the classroom and at home, as a way to raise children who are well-adjusted members of society and who display respect and concern for others. The paper then offers suggestions for supporting children's academic success, such as talking to children about their goals and the necessary steps to achieve them, teaching children empathy for other people, promoting assertiveness rather than aggressiveness, and being a good role model. Finally, the paper discusses parent participation at school, recommending ways parents can approach teachers about volunteering and tasks parents can do for schools. The paper concludes by noting that teacher-parent contact not only promotes good will between the two, but in most cases promotes a positive attitude in the child. (EV)

Download or read book Parents And Teachers written by Carol Vincent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the factors that shape and influence home-school relations. At its heart is an analysis of parent-teacher relationships in an inner city borough, drawn from case studies of five primary schools and a parents' centre. Interviews with parents are revealing windows into parents' views on a range of issues, including curriculum, discipline and parents' relationships with their children's teachers.; The author also considers teachers' perspectives on these matters, and explores the influence of social class, ethnicity and gender on parent-teacher interactions. While presenting these issues within a consideration of broader themes such as citizenship, community, power and participation, the book discusses the reasons why initiatives designed to improve home- school relations appear to result in such limited change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong partnerships between home and school are essential for coordinating high quality care and education, and for supporting young children's development. This research sought to explore the multidimensional nature of parent-teacher, or cocaring, relationships, for families utilizing full-time, center-based childcare for their infants or toddlers. A model of coparenting, or how parents work together in their roles as parents, served as the main theoretical framework for this investigation. In the first phase of the study, 10 parent-teacher dyads participated in semi-structured interviews about a specific cocaring relationship. In this sample, all families were receiving subsidized childcare. Using an iterative, inductive analysis as well as a deductive analysis based on definitions of key coparenting dimensions, three main cocaring themes were identified: communication, support vs. undermining, and childrearing agreement vs. disagreement. In the second phase, 90 parents of infants and toddlers, about a fourth of whom were receiving subsidized childcare, completed questionnaires about a specific cocaring relationship, their parental involvement, the quality of their relationship with their child, and the child's social and emotional functioning. Exploratory factor analysis of the questionnaire developed to assess the cocaring relationship revealed a three factor structure: Support, Undermining, and Endorsement & Agreement. In regression analyses, after controlling for parents' education, parents' perceptions of cocaring support were positively related to all forms of parental involvement: home-based, school-based, and home-school connections. Parents' perceptions of undermining were also positively related to school-based involvement, whereas perceptions of endorsement & agreement were positively related to home-school connections. In addition, when parents characterized their cocaring relationships as more supportive, or higher in endorsement & agreement, parent-child closeness was higher. However, parents' perception of greater undermining in the cocaring relationship was associated with lower parent-child closeness. Regression analyses also revealed that after controlling for parent-child closeness and conflict, undermining in the cocaring relationship was associated with higher levels of child dysregulation. This research lends validity to the cocaring construct and adds to our understanding of the importance of early parent-teacher relationships for children and families.
