Increasing Parent and Teacher Involvement: Employing Research Discoveries to ...Bilinguistics
Involving caregivers and teachers in the therapeutic process is a major component of successful therapy. However, social, familial, personal, and environmental factors can make caregiver and teacher involvement difficult.
In this course we identify the benefits of family involvement and will then provide five research-based strategies for how to improve our interactions with families and teachers. We refer to the strategies as SMILE (Sign, Model, Imitate, Label, and Expand). These strategies have been found to improve communication skills in young children. We will define the SMILE strategies, provide the rationale behind them, and demonstrate how to implement the strategies when serving an early-childhood population.
The implementation of the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 has highlighted the role that parents play in ensuring that their children are successful learners who grow into confident adults able to take up their roles as citizens and contribute effectively to society. Schools and parents need to work in partnership in order to achieve these ambitious aims.
