Assessment one.
1.

This report shall focus on a meeting that I attended this year to consider the transition and progress of a child within their education setting. I shall explore the structure and description of the meeting and who attended and look at a range of factors that influenced the outcome of the meeting, and what played a role in the communication of the parties involved. In addition I will be summarizing the partnership and looking at the organizational background the meeting and those who were in attendance.

The meeting I attended takes place for each pupil in the school on a twice yearly , in addition to discussing the child 's educational progress the goal of the meeting was to discuss the transition of the pupil from primary …show more content…

There was a collaboration of different agencies which include Headteacher, teacher, Enhanced sla, speech and Occupational therapists, health visitors, residential care workers, socail worker, out reach key worker, parent of the pupil, clinical physiologist and the school nurse. As you can imagine having a meeting with all these professionals was daunting and I work with them on a daily basis so I cannot begin to imagine how the pupils parent must have been feeling. The meeting takes place with the headteacher leading the meeting and inviting each agency to state their preferences and to detail a short report on the pupils progress. Each agency representative introduced themselves to the group detailing what their involvement is with the pupil, some appeared more approachable than others and again I did feel for the parent as the introduction was a way to removing any barriers between each attendee however it appeared the child 's parent had little or no idea who the …show more content…

As I stated above everyone within the partnership needs to be heard and not be overwhelmed by others knowledge or lack of knowledge at times, what makes working in partnership is work is the fact that we are all working within a framework that wants the best outcome and takes into account the key factors that make this happen. In the pupils meeting the common objective was to make a clear route for success for the pupil, although at times communication was not coherent to all of those in attendance once pointed out the people involved make a conscious effort to correct the situation. The working partenership involving so may different agencies can be challenging, even down to the scheduling of the meeting, with somay people involved it is important to have clear leadership and a structure to the matters raised.I hope in time things will change and the family of pupils involved in these meetings are given there part in the partnership as they and the pupil are the most importants partners that are

A. 1. Partnerships with families and communities support shared responsibility for children’s learning, development, and wellbeing. – I believe this is a breach of the code because knowing that children can understand this sort of negativity can cause them to have set backs which would not honour the parent’s wishes or the child’s development. 2. Respectful, responsive, and reciprocal relationships are central to children’s education.

1.1 Explain why working in partnership with others is important for children and young people - it important that you work alongside others when working with young people because it is good for them to see that people do work together and to see relationships because built as well as positive outcomes coming out from working in partnership with people. It is also good because it shows them general life skills of working with and alongside other to come up with a solution. 1.2 Identify who relevant partners would be in own work setting - relevant partners would include, parents or carers of the child so that the practitioner and parent can work together to figure out what is going to suit the child best, management to see what actions and targets could be put into place and how the setting can be developed to help the childs specific needs aswell as how it could help the setting as a whole.

All children must have their personal needs met by Practitioners. The care towards a child’s learning is crucial for their academic mindset; children must be challenged with work to improve their intelligence in the future. However, they must be helped if there is a gap in their learning development. It’s important to identify the care a child needs; this may be speech therapy or extra maths sessions. For Practitioners there are guidelines to suggest to them what levels the children are working at this is called the ‘Early Years Outcomes Guidance’ this will go on their reports and later help the teachers/practitioners/parents challenge their child to their full potential.

I was fortunate to be placed in Ms. Gohil’s classroom because her classroom was dedicated to students with special needs. This allowed me to experience first hand what an actual special education teacher does during a typical class day. I also was able to see paraprofessional work with the students on constant bases, not like my previous experience where the paraprofessional would only visit the child for approximately 20 - 30 mins per class period. What I also like was that I witnessed various behavioral changes from students and was able to see in real time how the teacher and paraprofessional handled these behaviors. At first, I did not understand some of the techniques that were being used, but then I would ask Ms. Gohil questions and

She felt parent involvement is needed however, due to parents working schedules, this could be hard. Once we concluded the interview I thought of better ways the daycare and school could involve parents. Since the holidays are coming up the teachers and office staff can create an art exhibit to display children’s art work. This can be done after hours and a light refreshment could be served. However, any school event that includes parents have to be done and announced prior to the event.

Every child has the ability to learn and develop. Having high expectations is especially important in achieving better outcomes for the most vulnerable children. Some children require additional support and different learning experiences and opportunities to help them learn and develop. If a staff member didn’t have a high expectation of a child in my work place I would challenge them and remind them that they took the role on and committed to high expectations for all the children’s learning and development and support which they would require, in my role and being a parent myself I can recognise that every child can learn, but some children require quite different opportunities and support to be able to do this, A.B when I first started

Others may think the team could easily be just the general and special education teachers, but I believe that every member is crucial and dire to a successful IEP meeting, whether it be to mediate or to pitch in ideas. Another aspect that I really like and appreciate in the meeting is the inclusion of the child. This is important in my eyes because the student may think the IEP is made only to slow down or show that the teachers are against the student. The inclusion of the student in the meeting shows the collaboration of both sides of the classroom and with the student’s parents. Every step and piece of an IEP or IEP meeting is critical to the child, its learning, and the parents.

Chapter 4 The most commonly accepted contemporary framework for viewing parental involvement was inspired by the ecological model of Bronfenbrenner (1979, 1986) and designed from a social and organisational perspective (Epstein, 1992). It identifies three major contexts within which children develop and learn: the family, the school, and the community (see Figure). The Overlapping Spheres of Influence model recognises that there are some practices that family, school and community conduct separately and that there are others that they conduct jointly in order to influence the growth and learning of the child. According to Epstein, successful partnerships must be forged between these three spheres in order best to meet the needs of the child.

Classroom Observation Reflection Abrar Hilal University of Oklahoma Tuesday, February 12 Classroom Observation Reflection Special Education Classroom Report The special education classroom that I observed, included the main teacher, two teacher assistants, and ten students with Developmental Delays. The main teacher uses technology to aid the students to learn easy and faster. A smart board is present in the classroom, but the teacher doesn 't use it often as she prefers to use her own handouts and her specially created activities. I think this is effective as she can modify activities better and so that the students benefit from that personalized touch.

As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow. A very good example of this successful collaboration is the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy.
