Family Engagement Plan
[WLOs: 3, 4] [CLO: 3]
Educators and families play important and intertwining roles in the overall development of children. When teachers work alongside families, they are more likely to see success in children reaching their academic, social, and developmental milestones. As you are learning, parent involvement is a powerful influence on children’s success in school. However, effective family engagement takes work. As a teacher, it is your role to initiate this involvement by getting to know your families, building relationships, and involving them actively throughout the year.
This week you will submit a “Family Engagement Plan” for the classroom that you chose in the discussion to base your work around for the rest of this course (Preschool Classroom, 4K or 5K Classroom, or First-Grade Classroom). For this assignment, you will consider ways in which you could plan to build this family engagement plan through purposeful events and opportunities to get to know and involve them in their child’s education using the following scenario:
Imagine your administrator called a staff meeting and shared that the school-wide goal for the year is to increase family engagement as a part of fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive classroom community. She tasked all teachers with submitting a written plan by the end of the week sharing different events or opportunities you will develop to encourage that family engagement piece for families of your students.

Preschool Classroom
A 2/3-year-old classroom of 12 students. In the room you have one student Maria who comes from a home where Spanish is only spoken. Maria’s parents seem very interested in supporting her, but language is a barrier for them to communicate their needs to you. You also have one child Johnny who has cognitive and physical delays which require him to work with an aid most of the time when he is in your room. Johnny’s mom is very worried about him and would like to schedule regular meetings with you to review his goals and progress throughout the year. Then, you have a 3-year-old boy Michael who is living with a foster family after being moved around a bit. The family is overwhelmed trying to help him manage his behavior and he tends to lash out at other children often.
