The co-creation of community with parents and teachersMeth, Anneline 11 November 2008 (has links)
M.A. / The Department of Education encourages parents to become involved in their children’s education by joining the school governing bodies. However, serving on a governing body is not the ultimate form of parental involvement. Governing bodies are involved at the macro level of planning which involves the holistic planning and management of the school, they are not involved at the micro level which deals with the day to day issues that arise within the classroom. Teachers at the Geluksdal Primary School say that they cannot give children with learning difficulties the individual attention with an average of forty-five pupils per class. They have found that more than fifty percent of the children they teach do not understand the lessons. Teachers feel that the school day is short and the number of children struggling too great for them to intervene effectively. They welcome parental involvement and think that parents should assist their children individually at home. This qualitative action research study is a partnership between the researcher, parents (with children who have learning difficulties) and teachers for the co-creation of community in the best interest of children's educational development. The co-creation of community between parents and teachers requires of them to meet with each other to discuss children's needs and difficulties and to attend to these needs and difficulties. The co-creation of community refers to the joint effort of parents and teachers to better the education of children with learning problems. The focus group consisted of five parents who committed themselves and three parents who moved in an out of the group. Seven teachers participated in this study but failed to commit themselves to the forming of community. These teachers seemed de-motivated from disappointing past experiences to get parents involved in children's education, but to little avail. It appeared as if they did not believe that meeting with parents after school to build a relationship in the best interest of children would make a difference, and did not think it to be important. Another important factor that could be related to the teachers’ reactions, was that they held an ‘out-there’ philosophy which suggested that the problems experienced by children with learning difficulties was caused by the home. The research was continued with the hope to raise the teachers’ consciousness of their involvement in the educational progress of children with learning difficulties. Three teachers were interviewed individually on their views of parental involvement in education. Results showed that the co-creation of community between parents and teachers do have an impact on children’s educational development. Those parents who were committed to become involved in their children's education found that their children’s progress at school improved considerably.

Examining teacher - parent relationships in high and low socioeconomic communities : teacher and parent reports of communication, mutual support and satisfactionNordby, Carla J. 11 1900 (has links)
My study examined whether and how the relationship between parent and teacher
corresponds to the socioeconomic status (SES) of the family or to the achievement level of
their child in reading and writing. Relationship was defined in terms of communication,
perceptions of mutual support and reported levels of satisfaction. The constructs were
assessed through questionnaires and interviews with seven parent-teacher dyads. Each dyad
represented a unique profile of student achievement (high or low), SES of the family (high or
low), and parental involvement (high or minimal). Successful relationships were
characterized as having clear communication, perceptions of helpful mutual support, and
high levels of success. No clear patterns in the success of the relationships emerged from
examination of the SES or achievement of the children; however, successful relationships
were aligned with the teachers' ratings of parental involvement. Teachers included
newsletters and log book messages in their methods of communicating with parents, while
parents considered only two-way interactions as communicating with their child's teacher.
Teachers in higher SES schools reported giving suggestions to parents to assist their children
but the parents did not report hearing the suggestions; however, teachers in lower SES
schools did not report giving suggestions to parents but parents reported hearing the
suggestions. Home literacy activities varied across families in high versus low SES schools.
Parents in higher SES schools reported a broader range of activities in their home that
supported their children's literacy acquisition than their lower SES counterparts. Activities
reported by low SES families were more task oriented while activities reported by higher
SES families were more entertainment oriented and corresponded better with school
activities. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate

A guide to understanding the young child as a whole: Written for the parents of the Zephyrhills SchoolUnknown Date (has links)
"Here is a guide for the parents of the Zephyrhills school area. Under one cover, and with concise discussion, it presents the information which parents need to know in order to get a complete view of the young child. Admittedly, it is a broad subject which has been covered by many well known authorities. Nevertheless, in over two decades of teaching the young child, and in dealing with the parents of these children for that same period, the writer has observed that too few parents read the many helpful volumes which are easily available. Many parents shun books weighted with details and written in terminology largely beyond the range of ready comprehension of the average parent. Pamphlets and bulletins which briefly cover the high spots are much more widely read. After having surveyed much authoritative literature in this field, and having taken from it the important aspects, the writer believes that her brief paper of the child as a whole, meets this definite need for parental guidance in her local situation. This guide differs from the average pamphlet or bulletin which usually deals only in parts, in that it presents an overall condensation of the continuous growth of the child from conception to adulthood. It is intended that this guide be placed on the local Parent Teacher Association's shelf in the school library for free reading, and that it be made available in local study courses for parents of preschool children. It is hoped that by using this parental guide as an introductory source, a better understanding of the child as a whole will be developed and that more effective rearing of children will result"--Introduction. / "August 1951." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Elizabeth Hamlin, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 46).

Ways of establishing good relationships between home and schoolUnknown Date (has links)
The selection of this topic grew out of a sincere desire to improve home-school relationships. My experience in dealing with children clearly indicated that those children whose parents worked most closely with the schools were happier and better adjusted within the classroom. My belief is that the home-school relationships in such instances were far above average. What, then, are the factors that make for good home-school relationships and how are others solving this problem? / Typescript. / "February, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education." / Advisor: Robert Moon, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 32-34).

Transition into Kindergarten: A Collaboration of Family and Educational PerspectivesMcCubbins, Jennifer Lynn 07 May 2004 (has links)
In recent years, research has focused on children's transitions from preschool into kindergarten. Parents, teachers, and schools recognize the importance of the transition from preschool into kindergarten and its possible influence on children's adjustment and long term school success. However, as the philosophies and policies of kindergarten have emerged and evolved, so have the views of parents and teachers regarding children entering kindergarten. Research shows parents and teachers have conflicting views regarding the expectations for children in kindergarten. While the quality of a child's transition to kindergarten is an individual experience, there are some universal factors of influence in any transition. These factors include communication among teachers and parents and establishment of relationships among the three protagonists: child, parent, and teacher. Throughout this thesis, I present data that examines the expectations and concerns for the children entering kindergarten from a parent and educational perspective. I also provide transition activities practiced in the home and school environment. The most important aspect of the transition process involves focusing on the relationships between child and teacher, parents and teacher, child and peers, and child and parent. I include parent and educational perspectives of these relationships and relate how these relationships enhance children's transition into kindergarten. / Master of Science
