CAP Parent Liaison

There is not much to report this week. I am in the process of writing my plan. As I review the literature and volunteer I see such a need for it. The parents do need to be involved but it is important on the approach. A person in the role of coordinator is the key.

CAP project

This week I have done extensive literature research for my project and was having a problem narrowing my search to exactly how this can be done.There are many urban schools across the nation that have programs that assist parents to become involved in their child's education. In order for this to be successful a position for parental support coordinator must be established It was when I was posting a discussion to another student's blog that I discovered that these programs exist in some Orlando schools. During my volunteer time this week I am going to explore this further with the lead kindergarten teacher. I am looking for specific information as to how the school would like this program be put in place and what type of funding they would need.

CAP project

This week I am working on my CAP project related to the need at the school where I am volunteering. One area that was identified by faculty was parent involvement in all aspects of their child's learning. This week I will be meeting with one of the lead teachers to discuss how the school would like include this in the curriculum. This could not be accomplished last week because Brevard County schools were on spring break.
