Subject: Parent and Community Involvement
I believe that: Parents / legal guardians are the primary educators in a child’s life and all parties need to show commitment to work together and aim for the same goal, that being, a successful student. I believe this because (relate to personal/professional experience): my parents were always very supportive of me and my education and tried to be involved in my schooling as much as they could. My parents always had a positive relationship with the schools that I went to. Because of that, I felt obligated to work hard to not let my parents or my school down. Lots of issues/aspects of: increasing parent involvement in our schools: For example: they can help with basic tasks (make copies, work with individuals, and other clerical work), assist on field trips, help manage the classroom, interfere with / contribute to my lessons, And can be another set of eyes on their child. I'd like to talk about: getting others involved at school. Explain your example: Earlier this school year, I subbed for this second grade classroom for a few days in a row. While I was there, a student’s grandma was also present monitoring her grandson and assisting him when needed. The teacher did notify me that this particular student was sometimes problematic, but with the grandma there, the student gave me very few problems the time I was with him. Her assistance was huge in that I did not have to focus my time on this particular student. I became more readily available for the rest of the class and instructional time was put to better use. Having the community involved allows us educators to work more efficiently while still connecting the student’s school life with their lives back home.
