disinterested parent
1.Activity :Using insights gleaned from your required readings and from the video complete the following assignment:
1. Create a PowerPoint presentation that you could use as a downloadable resource for parents and community members on your school’s website.
2. Your presentation should espouse the virtues and benefits of engaging parents and the community in schools.
Additionally, make suggestions about how the ideas presented in:
1. Week’s readings are applied to the school where you work (or would like to work)?
2. How would you address concerns, such as involving those who for whatever reason are reticent to communicate or feel disenfranchised, and engaging the disinterested parent, not just
those who are willing to participate and contribute.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide). Include 3-5 sources.
Notes Length: 200-350 words for each slide.
Tip: You can get help using PowerPoint “Notes” through the “help” function of PowerPoint. If you save the presentation as a webpage, your notes automatically display. Your notes can fill the
role of the speaker, giving your audience the background and details that a speaker would provide during a live presentation.
Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.
