There is also a set of questions about treating parents as equal partners in improving their children's learning. Answer the questions on pages 38-39 to see if your school follows parent involvement practices listed in the federal guidelines. Are you surprised at some of the activities listed?

Chapter 2 states there are 4 levels of partnership achievement: Partnership School, Open-Door School, Come If We Call School and Fortress School. Take the quiz (pg. 15-18) and see where your school falls. Were you surprised? What can the school do to take it up to the next level?

According to Beyond the Bake Sale, there are five reasons to rethink parent involvement in your school. After reading these reasons, (pgs. 2-11), which seems to have the most impact? Did any other the reasons surprise you? Why or why not?

This chapter discusses building trust between staff and parents through a three-part "joining process". In the joining process, the staff: "welcomes parents into the school, honors their participation, and connects with parent through a focus on the children and their learning". After completing the "How Family-Friendly Is Your School?" checklist (pp. 75-79), please share your response to the reflection question: What steps could you take to help your school become more family-friendly?

Who's in Charge Here Anyway? Chapter 8 offers numerous ideas for involving parents. Discover how to share decision making and effectively practice the democratic process. Use the checklist on pages 214-218 and determine how well your school is doing? Although we are implementing many of the strategies provided, there's always room for nurturing and refining new growth.
One valuable activity we used this past year was having a Science/Social Studies Work Night. We took the Science/Social Studies Fair a step ahead. Parent and community members were invited to assist students to research and develop projects for the fair. Teachers' roles were to facilitate and guide parents and students through the process. It was a huge success! Parents were very excited and requested more of these types of activities.

Elements of the Parent Involvement Policies of Boston, N.Y., and San Diego are discussed in detail. There are many great ideas that we could implement in our district and our school. Well worth reading this entire chapter. Complete the checklist on pgs 247-250. Provide three (3) improvements you could make in your program to improve parental involvement and provide high academic student achievement.

Although student work is posted throughout the school, we usually don't combine student work from different grade levels. I never thought about displaying student work in community areas. This year we hope to have more classroom demonstrations with parents to expose them to reading and math lessons, so they can understand standards based learning techniques. Exceptional, exciting teaching strategies need to be recognized and displayed for parents to identify with. Pictures and samples should be posted, presented, or demonstrated. Many times marvelous things go on in the classroom that parents, as well as other staff members are not aware of.

This chapter is about all students having an advocate. An advocate is a person who speaks out for another. An advocate can be a parent but can also be someone else that cares for the student. An advocate must be in the child's life for the long haul, a person who knows the child well, talks to them often, and sees them every day. Someone who believes in the child and wants them to do well.

I do wish the media , governor, Dr. Paine or Boone County Board of Education would write a real comparison of the education system in Japan or China vs the United States. We hear these countries are ahead of us in math and science. WHY? We educate all children for 12 or more years. Students go to school 180 days about 7 hours. Why is it we never hear about the long days - hours, how many years everyone gets to go to school, or who cleans the school, what the children must go through in order to go on to school after the 9 years they are offered an education in Japan or China. Teachers work hard in Boone County. When others compare the US to other countries, they leave out a lot of information. The United States or West Virgina could change our educational system to run like Japan or China.

Think about this method for professional development , especially for reflection and evaluation. Is it a viable alternative? Why or Why not?

I found the 3-Tier Reading Model book to be a valuable resource. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to implement and structure each of the tiers in the reading model. Sherman Elementary has participated as an Response to Intervention (RtI) school for two years. We are still refining each of the tiers. I have been told it takes 3 years to truly implement a good 3-Tier Reading Model. This book will serve as a guide to help us. I have spend many hours researching what works in the teaching of reading and I have learned so much from reading this book.

Implementing Tier 1 instruction has caused me to collaborate and work with others more than I ever had before. I love the idea that Title I, Special Education and regular classroom Teachers are working TOGETHER during the 90 minute reading block to help all of OUR students succeed in reading. Everyone learns from each other and has something to offer. Even teachers who have advanced degrees and 30 years of expereince are learning new ways of instructing students based on what the research says works for beginning readers. Sometimes change is difficult, but we all want to do what is right for our kids.
