Family resource center in the classroom

What do you put in a family resource center in the classroom? How can you inform the families and make it available to them?
Professional motivational and inspiring articles for parents' support will be included.
I'd enlist the help of seasoned outside consultants.
I'd build a therapeutic entertainment area for parents who are depressed or stressed.
Both online and print nurturing manuals will be included (Abdelhak et al., 2013)
I'd use a referral service to entice current parents to refer others. I'd advertise by putting up posters and banners around the neighborhood.
Which technique for family empowerment are you most likely to pursue, and why?
I'd employ the Triple P Parenting approach (Positive Parenting Program), that helps to choose and decide how the classes will be allocated willingly. The program involves a group of disciplines that enables parents to raise happy and confident children.

How can you support early learning in a home based model, as described by Gudrais?

I would provide professional care and education at the discretion of the parent description of parent. I will offer a one to one interaction between and children in the playground to increase the social state of the child. Extra activities like library visits, mall shopping and trips will be organized.

How can you differentiate your conferencing to meet the traditional collectivist cultures?

As earlier stated, my strategy will be Triple P kind of program. This strategy allows interested parents to apply and join the class that best suits his needs at the time of his availability so long as it fits in our schedule.

How can you use “mama rule” to improve your parent-teacher conferences?

Adult teaching has been a challenge as teachers need to show superiority while parents are not in a position to bend low too. However, in such situation I ensure that I set communication channel to be horizontal. Teachers are bound to explain concept comprehensively as to a two year old without pressure though (Pillet‐Shore, 2015).

What strategies can you use to address conflict if a parent disagree with your assessment of his/her child?

Disagreement leads to understanding. If it is academic I would avail the marking scheme to the parent for comparison. In ex-curriculum assessment I would explain his child’s relationship citing examples from his colleagues.(Barkley, 2013)
