Scenario

R. Dailey is a new
teacher at Jackson Elementary School. Ms. Dailey has had many courses on
culture, as well as how culture and family systems impact student success. She
is also well versed in behavioral models that can guide classroom management
approaches. Setting up her classroom to take into account the varied needs and
cultures of her twenty young students will be challenging, but she is
determined to promote the success of each student. A get acquainted meeting
with parents and family members might be just the thing to set the stage for a
successful start to the school year! But, many decisions must be made before
this critical meeting.

Prepare your presentation
based upon what you know about the following:

·Promoting cultural acceptance in the
classroom

·The importance of communication between
teacher and parents/family

·How family systems impact family
involvement in student education and success

·The behavioral models that can guide
classroom management approaches

In this Assignment, you
should include the following:

Collaborate with your
team members on the following topics:

1.How to design a class
program to promote an understanding of, and appreciation for, cultural
diversity. How can you bring parents/family members into the program?

·Showing the parents an inclusive curriculum
and asking questions about their child’s strengths

·Show an understanding about the different
cultures and expectations

·Celebrate the diversity of each student by
making them the student of the week with an all about me poster to bring in and
hang up.

·Possibly include special guest that would
be able to speak or demonstrate things from our culture.

·Have a pot luck event when families bring a
dish from their culture.

·Books about culture

2.How would you design the
communication system between teacher and parents? The frequency of scheduled
communications and criteria for special communications should be determined.

·Online programs/app

·Newsletters

·Folders (have parents sign and have the
options to write a comment)

·Text messages

·Emails

·Frequency of communitcation daily (
folders)

·When comunication is needed for
misbehaviors then an email or phone call shall take place to find the
underlining cause. And to let the parents know what has happened.

·The criteria for special communication
would be bad behavior, needs IEPS, extra help, or even when a child goes above
and beyond expectations.

·To help keep track a behavior board will be
in place, children will start at green each day and their choices will move
them up or down.This will be sent home
in the daily communications folder to be signed by parents.

·Red= parental contact

Orange=
bad choices

Yellow=bad
choices

Green=
Ready to learn

Blue=
good choices

Purple=
good choices

Pink=
Outstanding

3.Decide upon the
behavioral model that will inform the classroom environment. What aspects of
classroom functioning will the model influence?

·Behavior Chart

·Reward system (positive reinforcements) to encourage
students to try harder

·For the model we choose the ecological systems

oTo focus on what could be
going on in the child’s life may have a big impact on their behavior.

Once decisions have been
made regarding the cultural diversity program, communication system, and the
behavioral model that will inform the classroom environment, your team will
develop a Power Point presentation to present this information at the “Back to
School Night.” Each slide must contain a written version of what your verbal
presentation would be in the “Notes” area of the slide.

If you use outside
sources, remember to cite them in the slides (in-text citations) and then again
in your references (reference page). Use APA style; 12-point, Times New Roman
font; and double-spaced formatting.

The Power Point
presentation should include a title page slide that includes the names of the
team members, an introduction slide, and a reference slide (The title page and
reference slides do not count toward the number of slides requirement.).
