Family Support

Amatea (2013) suggests that socioeconomic status, cultural group membership, and family structure do not determine a child’s academic success or failure. Instead, it is family engagement that is essential for learning and development. Review the Parental Involvement Report Card quiz (http://www.projectappleseed.org/reportcard.html) to help you obtain the perspective of a parent. Using one source, in addition to the text, list 3 different ways you will implement year-long family involvement in your classroom. Explain how these 3 ideas will encourage parent consistency in regards to involvement. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
