Discussion and Reflection week 5

Discussion and Reflection week 5 Order Description Part 1: PROMPT:There are two questions this week. Please number your responses accordingly. A parent in your classroom is on “flex” hours at work and wants to spend every Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 11:00 in his daughter’s room. He is excited about it but a little nervous, because he’s not sure how to fit in without getting in the way. You’ve talked with him about it, and it sounds like he wants to assist in the program and move around as needed. He says he would really appreciate one page of written guidelines that he could keep in his pocket for the first few weeks. What would your handout include? Add a short rationale for the information you decided to offer, or not. The Case Study on p. 346 describes a poorly attended parent meeting at an early education center. After reading the details, respond to each of the questions that follow the description. Please number your responses 1 – 4. Part 2: Think about any experiences you have had with families visiting in classrooms. How comfortable did the families seem? Did any problems arise? How have these experiences affected your willingness to consider finding more ways to involve families? Required reference: Gestwicki, C. (2013). Home, school, community relations (8th ed.).
