module 7 parent involvement

Parent involvement is an important part of a child's education experience. The module and chapter 14 talks about students success being related to parent involvement. When parents are involved students; get better grades, have higher self esteem, have a better attitude, and are well adjusted. We are doing an assignment that requires us to write a letter home to the parent of the child we were working with. This letter is important so we can take the opportunity to try to involve the parent in the learning process. Many parent would like to help their children but they don't know how. If we help the parents by making suggestions or giving them the information they need to help their child they may be more willing to get involved. I feel that creating a warm welcoming environment for families to come and be involved is important too. I will try hard to find ways to involve all families in the education experience.
