What is Collaboration?
What is Parent Training and Information Centers and Community Parent Resource Centers?
I. INCREASING
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
Some ways in which student participation can be enhanced include the following:
Ensuring parents know their child is invited to attend and participate
Providing students with background knowledge concerning the IEP and the process, as well as training in skills for participating.
Focusing on student strengths, gifts, and talents rather than only on skill or knowledge deficits.
Increasing student responsibility for developing and implementing their plans
Involving peers and community members who are supportive of the student.
II. Increasing
Family
Involvement
Fidler, Simpson and Clark (2007) identified four levels of parent and family participation. Each level builds on the skills and knowledge acquired in the previous levels of involvement.
Awareness, attendance and basic participation
Ongoing communication, information sharing and basic program involvement
Advocacy and collaborative program involvement
Collaboration And Partnership Participation
Increasing Sibling involvement
Sibling of students with disabilities can be affected on both positive ways such as learning advocacy and empathy skills and in negative ways such as hearing negative comments about their sibling
Conflict Management
Conflict may arise from parent’s feelings of anger that merge from feeling fear, hurt, frustration or sense of injustice. Parents may be afraid of the future or the implications of a diagnosis of disability.
Increasing Involvement of Diverse Families
Teachers should find working with diverse families interesting and rewarding. Fried & Cook, (2000) and Callicott (2003) provide these suggestions for teacher working with linguistically diverse family.
Use culturally responsive feedback and method communication
Show appreciation for include cultural diversity in the curriculum and school activities
Ensure that policies, procedures and activities are in place to reduce the likelihood of prejudice.

Transparència que no deixa veure. Quant ens costa la tortura taurina?Jesús Frare Garcia
... En la meua opinió, que et diguen que la informació ja està disponible als pressuposts publicats, i que espigoles en eixe mar de dades si la vols, no seria transparència encara que realment fóra així. És com una d’eixes escenes de pel·lícula on la justícia obliga a facilitar una documentació i l’equip de persones advocades reben centenars de caixes plenes de papers, entre les que s’oculta eixa informació requerida. És a dir, que la suposada entrega de la informació forma part de la intenció d’ocultar-la.
Que ni tan sols siga així, converteix la transparència en una paraula buida de contingut que es pot convertir en altra més dins de la bateria de manipulacions argumentals taurines, com “patiment”, “benestar”, “estima”, “conservació”, “riquesa”, “llocs de treball”, “identitat”, “majoria”…
