parent engagement parent involvement

shared by Roger Holt on 29 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • I wanted to share a few of my thoughts on building trust between teachers and parents in this third and final post responding to Kanwal's question. I think I can best contribute to the discussion by highlighting what I see as the difference between parent involvement and parent engagement. Though there can be a positive result from both, I believe the most trust can be developed through engagement.

shared by Roger Holt on 20 Sep 13 - No Cached
  • I know what you’re thinking when you read the title of this podcast. You’re thinking what the **** — economists? What can economists possibly have to say about something as emotional, as nuanced, as humane, as parenting? Well, let me say this: because economists aren’t necessarily emotional (or, for that matter, all that nuanced or humane), maybe they’re exactly the people we need to sort this through. Maybe. You may remember that we wrote a bit about parenting in Freakonomics; now we’ve put together an entire roundtable of economists to talk about a great many elements of child-rearing, with one essential question in mind: how much do parents really matter, and in what dimensions? So you’ll hear about parents’ effect on everything from education and culture cramming to smoking and drinking.

shared by Terry Booth on 08 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • Parents and those who care for children who have an autism spectrum disorder (such as autism, Asperger's, pdd-nos, etc) are invited to attend a parent support group meeting to share some time with other parents of children on the spectrum. It is always wonderful to meet with others who are dealing with the challenges that come with raising a child (or children!) on the autism spectrum! Our group is a place where all parents are welcomed in a non-judgmental atmosphere.  Together we can network, share ideas, discuss problems, and sympathize with each other.

Parenting Style Has Big Impact On Kids With Disabilities - Disability Scoop - 0 views

shared by Roger Holt on 16 Nov 12 - No Cached
  • The approach that parents take with their children who have developmental disabilities is directly tied to how cooperative and independent they become, new research suggests. In an analysis of existing studies looking at the influence of parenting on children with special needs, researchers found that when moms and dads employed so-called positive parenting, their kids exhibited greater independence, better language skills, stronger emotional expression and social interaction as well as improved temperament.

    What:
    COPAA is premised on the belief that every child deserves the right to a quality education that prepares them for meaningful employment, higher education, lifelong learning, and full participation in their chosen communities. The key to effective educational programs for children with disabilities is collaboration, as equals, by parents and educators. This is the premise of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, the federal statutes that guarantee children with disabilities a free, appropriate public education. Access to quality representation protects student and parent rights and levels the playing field to foster meaningful student and parent participation as equal members of the student's planning team. The COPAA Conference is the premier opportunity for training and networking with the nation's most experienced and knowledgeable special education advocates and attorneys. Participants attend to learn about the most recent cases, legislative changes, the latest advocacy issues and educational interventions. When/Where:

shared by Roger Holt on 09 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Do you dread parent meetings—or find that they don't yield the results you wish they did? At their worst, such meetings (especially when they focus on a problem) are packed with defensiveness, frustration, guilt, and fear for parents, teachers, and students. All parties want to "get it over with." But by sharpening your facilitation skills, you can keep a parent meeting from degenerating into a dance of blame.
