Part1: Family and or/ Community Assignment
Creation of Indoor Gardens
Students will design and jolt indoor gardens of vegetables, fruits, and flowers in their communities. This activity aims to encourage the community at large, including the family, to grow foods in an indoor garden to protecthealth and the environment.The excessive carbon dioxide that stimulates the growth of greenhouse plantsincreases the number of carbohydrates to the plants, which is harmful to our bodies. Three gases are emitted into the atmosphere during the processes in the greenhouse. They are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. They cause a layer blockage in the atmosphere, thus absorbing more heat which eventually causes global warming.
The participation of the family and community in this activity will enhance creating awareness of the dangers of greenhouses to a large population in the country. They will implement the action by starting indoor gardens. The enactment of indoor gardens will influence the agri-food systems in the country to abolish importing of foods that may not be fresh(Gardening, 2020). Although it has been proven that plants grow better in a greenhouse, thosethat are grown indoors are likely to be protected from pests since it is easy to notice infestation and take action.
How family and community can be involved in establishing a positive learning environment
There should be a partnership built on a positive relationship between teachers, families and the community. The association promotes the involvement of the community and family in children’s schooling, thus reassuring parents’ aid in children’s assignments(Nishioka, 2019). The partnership will help to deliver leadership opportunities for learners. The community, in turn, should create a vibrant, supportive and welcoming environment free of crimes and bad behavior for the learners. It should be a protective community.
Part 2: Reflection
Methods to Communicate about the needs of Students.
In enhancing communication with parents and other stakeholders, teachers need to create a partnership to endorse student learning. Teachers can use one-way communication, which occurs when they pursue to inform parents about students’ progress or an ongoing school activity via sources such as radio announcements, school or class newsletters and school websites. Teachers can also use two-way communication, which willcomprise collaborating discourse among them, parents and stakeholders. Teachers’ exploit these methods to give information about students to parents and stakeholders.
Challenges faced when creating homework engaging community and family
It takes a lot of time to develop a significant project that will meet both the learner’s goals and the community. It is because both the learner and the community have very different purposes. Thus, preparing this homework and activities is very time-consuming.
They must set projects that have realistic goals for the learners and the community that students can manage in the time mount of the course.They have to manage the community expectations because many community partners may have high hopes of accomplishments and that the learners may lack the ability to deliver as expected.
Trust issues, there is distrust, neglect and miscommunication, which may cause the project’s failure. The problem may be in the relationship of the project partners. It should be a flexible and creative job design to reasonably ensure the poise of community assignation and a student’s learning goals.
Importance of engaging parents and community in Students’ education
The engagement of parents and communities deepens the teachers’ understandingof teaching and learning processes, making it an exciting journey for students and teachers (Bandy, 2017). It impacts the teachers positively on their teaching styles, their audience and the extra knowledge they will give.
Teachers can make better informed instructional decisions according to every student’s ability as they learn to know them through their parents(Education, 2018). Teachers are also able to tap on the comprehensive knowledge of students by unbridling their potentials.
The students whose parents and communities are also involved in their studies tend to complete their homework to earn good grades. They adopt a thriving school. Thus, they have good social skills and high self-esteem(Leslie, 2021). The students demonstrate positive behaviors by attending school regularly.
Dealing With Parents’ Issues and Concerns
Ensuring early meetings with the parents before problems arise and bringing out clarification on plans.Emphasizing expected goals for a healthy, responsible and mature student asking the help of parents in the accomplishment.
There should be a signed agreement between parents and teachers to act as reference in cases of problems in developing the student. Parents should be told the consequences of their children’s future whenever they fail to act on misconduct. To help them to punish and reward their children accordingly.
They should be told that every start of a year is a transitional time to change their role in the lives of their children to allow responsibility and growth. The parents should be given clarity in the interests of their children(Elmore, 2017). Then elaborate on working on behalf of the children to provide the best because of love and care.
