Analyzing Faulkner's 'Welcoming Schools'

In chapter five of Welcoming Schools I found the handoff and the dialogue between the teacher and the parents of students that happens at that time very interesting. When parents bing their children to school some might see it as a transfer of responsibility and power. We should see a students education as an open dialogue and have a set of communication styles open with parents or guardians so that everyone can feel comfortable and important in the students education.

In the chapter it talked about that the "handoff" from parents to teacher being forbidden by some schools. Why would they want that line of communication cut off from the parent to the teacher? This is a great time to catch up with the parents and see how everything is going

    Susan Graham-Clay's Communicating With Parents: Strategies For Teachers

    The greatest barrier for student success lies between teacher-parent communication.

Susan Graham-Clay attempts to provide adequate information for teachers to begin their positive relationship with parents in her article, Communicating with Parents: Strategies for Teachers. Graham-Clay states the issue originates with teacher’s lack of training to efficiently and positively engage with parents. In recent years, education professionals recognized the import role parents play in the school environment and now urge teachers to interact with parents very early in the year.…

    William Faulkner's Literary Analysis

    William Faulkner was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. He wrote many great stories that were focused mainly in the southern United States, using similar characters and the setting of Yoknapatawpha County. In 1950, Faulkner received a Nobel Peace Prize for literature and in his acceptance speech for the award he stated that for a story to last forever it must include six eternal verities, which are love, honor, pity, pride, compassion, and sacrifice. (Faulkner 3). Sometimes these values are obvious, but others are hidden away in the writing.…

    Summary Of Motivation Breakthrough By Richard Lavoies

    In Richard Lavoies the Motivation Breakthrough: 6 Secrets to Turning on the tuned-out child proves techniques and strategies based on six possible motivational styles that will revolutionize the way parents and teachers inspire kids with learning disabilities to succeed and achieve. It promotes better communication, improvement through goals, and respect of the student. It provides an idea rather than the reward system. I think the value of this book lies in teaching people that what motivates them does not necessarily motivate their kids or any other person for that matter. That some information provided for parents should be read by the teachers and some provided with practical information only for teachers to use in their classrooms should…

    Psy 270 Week 11 Reflection

    Reflection for Week Eleven During week eleven I had the opportunity to sit in on parent teacher conferences on Tuesday and Thursday. Although the days were very long since we were at school until 6:30pm each night, I gain knew insight from the teacher’s perspective. I learned that it is best to sit beside the parents instead of sitting in the “teacher’s chair” so that parents do not feel intimidated as you share information about their students. You want to make the parents feel comfortable as they listening to the teacher give an overview of their students’ progress, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. You also want the parents to feel comfortable sharing information that could help their student in the classroom during the meeting regardless…

    Analysis Of Lynda Barry's The Sanctuary Of School

    From the age of two, children are put into the school system, where they will remain for a quarter of their lives. Schools become a safe place for students where no matter what is going on at home or in their community, they know that when they go to school they are safe. The idea that teachers provide a positive, safe environment for children despite what is going on at home is prevalent in Lynda Barry’s, “The Sanctuary of School.” She mentions the positive effects on students, as their teacher’s involvement is important to ensuring their learning process runs smoothly in the classroom, despite what is happening outside of it. I agree with Lynda Barry’s stance stating teachers become a mentor for students, but I believe she overlooks the negatives…

    The Idea Of Anti Bias Education

    After reading these three chapters I found a quote on page 41 that I think really sums up the idea of an anti bias education. It says, “Listen carefully and with an open heart.” Young children are always trying to make sense of the word and the idea’s they create in their heads are not necessarily signs of prejudice. It’s important for us to remember that children can’t always communicate what they think or how they feel. So as teachers we need to listen and figure out what they want to know.…

    Reflective Essay On Education And Remediation Paradigm

    There are three paradigms for how teachers should interact with students and their families. The first one is the separation paradigm which means that the parents give the responsibility of their child 's education to the school and makes the school responsible for their children’s results. I experienced this in my high school child development class with the preschool. There was a student who would act out in class and would never do his work so my teacher got in contact with his parents about this and blamed in on the schools program and my teacher. I do not agree with this one for the reason that it puts all the blame on the teacher and gives no responsibility to the parents.…

    Analysis Of Next Term, We Ll Mash You By Penelope Lively

    “Parenting gone wrong” is a phrase used to describe a child’s bad behaviour when he or she does something unexpected. Many call this phrase harsh because one can never control children. If children behave in a certain way later on in life it can’t be blamed on their upbringing, but does it really have nothing to do with bad parenting when a child feels abandoned and feels that they have been forced to do something they never wanted to? The story “Next term, we’ll mash you”, which is written by Penelope Lively, focuses on how the bond between parents and children can affect a child’s life.…
