CREATING PARTNERSHIPS
CRYSTAL CASE
Welcome to the PTO
Informational meeting
We will spend the next 45 minutes talking about:
how to create and sustain partnerships with families and the
community
how these partnerships influence the learning and development
of children
Its important as teachers, parents, family members and
community members to all be involved in the school
In turn it benefits the children, the schools and also the
community
My role as the Teacher
When you talk about teachers it’s a huge role that
requires a lot of responsibility. When in the classroom
all the students depend on me. Everything the
teacher says will have an impact on the students. My
job is to create a warm and protective environment
but also be professional. In a classroom when
students feel secure in the classroom the results will
be noticeable in the academic progress.
School is a place where one goes to learn. My role is
to create a learning environment that is suitable for
30 kids to learn the material, and retain it. Not all
children learn at the same speed, in the same way,
or steps. Some children need a small lesson one on
one, as others can be explained and shown once
and understand. Its my job to help each and every
student grasp the information and learn!
Teachers are not always just at the front of the class
teaching, like it used to be!
Rationale Steps
Bringing together families, schools, and community organizations in
a collaborative effort to meet the comprehensive needs of children,
families and the community. “When schools and families work
together in partnership, develop strategies to support each other,
students and schools both benefit.” (Parent, Family, Community
Involvement, N.A.)
Have meetings after school hours and help to support community
learning centers for everyone in the neighborhood.
In the world we live in today the children are learning things earlier in life
than we did, such as algebra and etc. So it’s important for us to provide
the help and services for family members.
Cultivate school-business relationships that will benefit both school
and business partners and sustain family-involvement.
Doing this will enable all parties to support and encourage each other.
The Mesosystem from
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System
When schools and communities work together, both
are strengthened in synergistic ways and make gains
that outpace what either entity could accomplish on its
own:
Families access community resources more easily
Businesses connect education programs with the realities
of the workplace
Seniors contribute wisdom and gain a greater sense of
purpose
Students serve and learn beyond their school involvement
“As the mesosystem and exosystem in Bronfenbrenner’s
model make clear, connections to the neighborhood
and the larger community—both formal organizations,
such as school, workplace, recreation center, child-
care center, and religious institution, and informal social
networks of relatives, friends, and neighbors—influence
parent–child relationships.” (Berk, 2013)
