Responses to questions must be a minimum of 250 words in length, be thoughtful and relevant, and include original and/or critical thought. The point of the journal reflection is NOT for students to simply provide a summary of the issues at hand; rather, students are to think critically about the issue, form and state an opinion, and create a coherent argument to support their perspectives. Responses should consider the questions asked as well as students’ thoughts on readings, especially: How do the readings relate to one’s own family experiences and/or the experiences of the families’ students work or interact? How do one’s cultural experiences influence the student’s work with families? You will benefit more from this course when you use classes as a jumping off point for further thought and reflection and maintain a daily reflective journal.
For the journal reflection, please think about the following factors:
- Parents of students with disabilities share the concerns of all parents about child-rearing and about education and also have additional concerns related to their children’s disabilities. How would you build the parents’ trust to share those additional concerns.
- How would you share your concerning observations to the parents?
