Epstein's model of Parent Involvement (What is it and how can we apply it in our daily interactions with parents)

# data[].attributes.body
My takeaway is the different ways to approach parents when sharing our observations of the child's behaviour in the class

# data[].attributes.body
We can communicate with parents and learn more about their child (e.g. what they do at home and did they take additional courses)

# data[].attributes.body
Active communication with parents for updates about child, find out if there are any challenges at home, share strategies that have been implemented in the classroom and encourage them to try them out at home.
