Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this accessible book, the author demonstrates that school improvement must start with a reconsideration of school effects upon the home, and home effects upon the school. The students' school experience must acknowledge the daily influence of the family in the classroom. To ignore this `hidden link' is to remain ignorant about students' lives and motivations, and makes it very difficult for educators to improve schools and schooling. Based on extensive research, Parent, Student and Teacher Collaboration provides invaluable guidance and insight.

Download or read book Parent Teacher Cross cultural Collaboration in Special Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Classrooms today are so diverse that it cannot go unnoticed. Diversity ranging from academic levels, religion, culture, etc. The focus for this thesis is how to create a collaborative environment with parents of students from different cultures. Collaboration between parents and teachers has been proven to provide student success. This is the same for all students. Collaboration is especially important for parents of children with special needs. Schools are required to ensure equity and inclusion. Equity and inclusion means “every learner matters and matters equally”. Parent and teacher collaboration helps this agenda. However, in order for parents and teachers to work together to support school success, they need to be able to understand each other and to communicate well. For many teachers, this is a challenge. One of the challenges is that the United States has become more culturally diverse. There are immigrants from different cultural backgrounds and languages. In order to ensure equity and inclusion, teachers are encouraged to strengthen their cultural understanding so that they can work with different students and be able to collaborate with parents for their children’s education. Children with special needs benefit more with parents and teachers working more closely. In Minnesota, equity and inclusion are highly promoted and supported, and there is a new grant for school districts for this purpose. District 196 is one of the school districts that received such a grant. The district has been developing a work plan which includes how to work with student from families of different cultures especially now that there are many immigrants moving south of the river to cities like Eagan, Burnsville, and Apple Valley. District 196 has already engaged community cultural workers. Trainings are also being developed. As a teacher and a parent with children including a special needs student, this writer wants to contribute to the training of teachers in working specifically with Africans. This paper includes the importance of teacher and parent collaboration, and the barriers to collaboration such as cultural differences. The writer has developed a half day curriculum. The curriculum includes creating a common vision for cross-cultural understanding by teachers, creating commitment, and developing strategies that would enable the teachers to collaborate more effectively with parents from other cultures. The focus is on working with African families. The curriculum will involve developing strategies and ways of making necessary changes."--Leaves 4-5.

Download or read book Challenges in Collaboration Between Educators and Parents of Students with Cystic Fibrosis written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges or barriers that are present in the collaboration between educators and parents of students with special needs. After completing a project and a questionnaire, the researcher interviewed both parents and teachers of students with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The researcher was looking for the perceptions of both the parents and the teachers of the same student and if there was any variance in those perceptions. The researcher was also looking for areas in collaboration that had barriers or challenges. Findings of the case study were particular to a group of parents from a social media support group on Facebook called "CF Mamas," who had children that had the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis and that same child's teacher; this group may serve as a model or provide insights for other CF parents and their teachers. The researcher focused on four specific sub-questions to assess the barriers or challenges in collaboration between parents of children with CF and their teachers. What were the parents of CF students perceived issues in the collaborative process in schools; what did teachers perceive were the problems in the collaborative process between schools and parents of students with CF; what did parents believe schools could do better in the collaborative process; and what did teachers believe parents could do better in the collaborative process. The data collected by the researcher pointed to a conclusion that collaboration between the parents and teachers of the student with CF is a perceived necessary aspect of the partnership in the education of a child with Cystic Fibrosis from the perspective of the parents. Key findings from the research indicated that the child's needs specific to his or her disease were being met at school; that the teachers believed they understood the child's disease with more confidence than that of the parents being surveyed; that both the parents and teachers surveyed perceived that the agreed upon accommodations were being met at school; bot the parents and the teachers agreed that the child with CF could access his or her medication when needed and in a timely manner at school; the majority of the parents and teachers believed their role in the collaborative process was clearly defined; parents and teachers both responded in a timely manner to each other's communications; the results from the parent responses about proactive communication indicated that it was their expectation that proactive communication fell on the role of the teacher; and that both parents and teachers provided convenient times to meet when needed. The researcher asserted that collaboration was successful and perceived from the perspective of the teachers while the parents did not experience the same collaboration to the same positive degree, or have yet to have this experience. The majority of responses from both surveys were that the teachers (100%) and parents (95.2%) believed they were in a partnership when it came to the child's educational and medical accommodations in the classroom. The researcher maintains that collaboration is not only vital in the education of a child with special needs, specifically CF, but in this case of the sample population, the collaboration was perceived to be occurring. Key words: Cystic Fibrosis, collaboration, special education, special needs, parent, teacher
