1.) What roles do you believe the teacher, the parent, and the child play in a child’s education?
A. The teacher should be the one to provide an outline of what the child should be learning in school and help to reinforce the tools the child uses to learn. Teachers need to introduce the topics, including different ways to help the student understand the concept being taught.
The parent should encourage study skills at home, practice the skills learned in school at home, and help out in areas where the child needs extra attention.
The child needs to be an active and willing participant in both areas, school, and home. It is the job of the parent and the teacher to encourage and promote this participation.
2.) What does a home to school or a school to home relationship mean to you?
A.

A home to school relationship to me means that there is an open line of communication and a relationship between the school and the home. When there are issues in either area, home or school, either party is communicating with each other. This is very important for both parties. Knowing what emotional and physical status the child is in will be beneficial to both.
3.) What are some concerns you have regarding the school your child goes to or will go to?
A. I am concerned that my children will be lost in the crowd and that they will not receive the attention that they may need to help them reach their potential. Many classrooms are filled to capacity, and one teacher has many children to deal with, and some of the children need lots of attention, leaving others to be left out. Also, I worry about my children dealing with bullies and helping them find the best way to deal with it.
4.) What three qualities do you or will you hope to see in your child’s teacher?
A. Strong, Compassionate,
1.1 The primary role of a teacher is to teach. They have to take into consideration the role in which they take to enable learners to learn.
Teachers can increase parent participation in the child’s learning by, updating them in upcoming activities and events; so they can be included in their child’s education, stay informed in their child’s successes and concerns, participate in special events, and
During the placement I was able to spend time observing interactions between parents, children and staff. I witnessed many positive aspects in the schools approach to engaging parents and was particularly impressed by their open door policy for parents and the support provided to families in times of need by the learning mentors. As part of the admission process to the school, staff visit the parents and child at home and discuss the implementation of the home-school agreement (appendix 1.b). This agreement sets out the expectations of each of the parent, school and child in regard to their actions and attitude towards their time in school. This is often one of the first interactions teacher and parents have and Grayson (2011) suggests most teachers report these home visits to have a lasting positive effect on the child and parent-teacher relationship. During the school’s inspection in 2014 Ofsted identified relationships across the school and with parents as a key strength.
4. What are the characteristics of the exemplary student? Which do you think are most important?
An entire community based on parents, teachers and students is what builds up a strong net school community and with support and togetherness it can break the barriers in parent- teacher communication. The school, parents, and teachers all play a big role in how our children will succeed. It is important that the schools continue to provide resources for the family, progress on their children academics and it is important that the families take a proactive measure and keep up to date with what is going on in their children’s
Parent involvement is necessary for students to succeed. Some cultures tend to view teachers as the experts and leave educational decisions to them. This can give the false impression that parents do not care about education. In American culture, parents take a more active role in their child’s education. They might volunteer in classrooms and help out when needed.
There were around class 13 children in the classroom and they had two teachers in the classroom. The role of the teacher in the classroom was assisting the children in their play, monitoring the children, supplying materials whenever the children needed. They used games, and other activities to help children develop children in language and vocabulary, improve social skills. The teacher in the classroom was carefully observing each child and called out child name whenever the teacher felt the need to stop their activity for safety.
Process Essay: Finding a Thesis and Claims Our Beliefs and our opinions are strong. The opinions we have and the assumptions we make as people are a part of who we are. When I picked my topic for the class research paper I wanted to choose something that I was passionate about. There are a lot of reasons that I am passionate about the topic of Fracking but sometimes it’s difficult for me to write about it and come up with logical supporting ideas. After about an hour of brainstorming I finally came up with a thesis and 3 claims.
The role of the adult, the teacher holds a key role in the Foundation Phase. The majority of the key messages allude to role of the teacher. Children should receive an effective teacher as a role model. It is also important to note that the adult does not disable the child 's individuality by not stifling the child
As Julian Sefton-Green states in, What (and Where) Is the “Learning” When We Talk About Learning in the Home?, the activities taking place at home can be considered learning, “only if there can be consensus and mutually understood points of reference” (p.16). It is essential to my duty as an educator that I attempt to coordinate activities and projects that can be continued in the household, as well as encourage the family to pursue mutually agreed upon avenues for potential educational experiences. If this level of coordination is untenable, then I will have to identify positive areas of the child’s home life that I can incorporate into classroom activities. I hope that my communication with families creates a partnership where the child can make connections between their home and the classroom that enriches their education. Utilizing the funds of knowledge that may be present in the household can enable a more comprehensive and inclusive education (Moll
Parents should also take a more pro-active approach in engaging with the school rather than putting all the responsibility of nurturing their child to the school or childcare centers. They do need to realize that they are the first and key role models in their child’s life and setting the right example is crucial and a predictor to their future success.
This book will show tried and tested strategies used during my children’s elementary school years at a public school and our homeschool years during middle school. These strategies will smooth out tempestuous parenting waters, whether a child is in a traditional school or home schooled.
Parental involvement in education is a vital essential for creating a cooperative environment for the student to thrive and succeed in. When a student knows that he or she is receiving support both inside and outside the school, the chances of that child becoming responsible for and active in their education are more likely. I know that there can be difficulties including parents for many reasons. Such parents may be too busy, uninterested or just feel helpless. However, as an educator, I will still have an obligation to reach out to these parents and assist them.
1. Remember you are home: Homeschooling does take time to adjust to but don’t require your children to school as if they were in public school. Scheduling is much different. It’s much more relaxed and calm. There is no need for strict, inflexible rules. Encouragement and love are necessary. Find the curriculum and activities which are best for your family.
The National Home Education Research Institute disclosed that the 36 to 54 hours that students spend in school-related weekly activities make peers and adults outside of the home the primary influences in children's lives - not the parents. Realizing the harm that this constant exposure can produce, especially if it's not countered by involved parenting, most homeschoolers are well aware of their children's need for close one-to-one contact throughout the education process. This is one reason as to why parents might feel extremely uncomfortable leaving
