The Department of Education (DfE) is responsible for education and children’s services. It means they get a very thorough overview of the position of children and the way in which they should be developed to become well-rounded adults who can contribute to society.

My actual audience is everyone who reads the Daily Wildcat, but my target audience is leaning towards us students. It could also reach out to parents whom have children as well. A reason being for choosing that audience is that I primarily wanted to inform current students and also parents that have children that are in the public school system, because they are the ones that can make a change happen by knowing all the possible ways school choice can affect not only them now but the future of their children as well.

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.
