This type of approach can be useful because the skills that teachers have acquired in their pedagogical training can be put at the service of families, whose members often do not have this training. Especially for parents of children with special needs this support can be important, in addition to that of specialists who already care for the child.

Since school is an educational agency like the family, it is important to design effective and clear forms of communication with families and students. Students also understand that their education is close to both hearts and see continuity in their educational process. For students with special needs it is important that there is communication and continuity between school and family, also because it is possible to build together a training path

Simona (Italy)

simonaappignanesi1 — 2023-05-31 13:28:52 UTC

In this type of approach parents feel involved in the school life of their children and children understand how much parents value their education. This also allows parents and teachers to get to know each other better and to collaborate in the growth of children. For students with special needs, it is important for parents to collaborate with the school to get in touch with the educational reality, understand how it works and have more direct contact with teachers

Simona (Italy)

simonaappignanesi1 — 2023-05-31 13:34:08 UTC

As with the Type 1 approach, it is important that teachers share their pedagogical skills with parents, who often do not have specific training. Moreover, it is also important that teachers help families to identify the activities of their children for the choice of training and work, because the school must also have a task of orientation. For students with special needs, the school must support the family in domestic work and support them in their child’s choices. An example: two years ago, a family decided to make their child with special needs change schools and move them to a vocational school. The teachers motivated the family to disagree with the problems the student would have in socializing in a new class. After two years the family still thanks us for the advice given.

simonaappignanesi1 — 2023-05-31 13:38:23 UTC

Parents' representatives are an important component because they act as a bridge between school and family and they also reach those parents who often, due to time problems, cannot participate in school life. They are also important because they can report on how students and families see the life of the class and suggest corrections and best practices. They are often even stricter than teachers in suggesting possible educational interventions to correct incorrect attitudes. For students with special needs, parents' representatives can share with other parents moments of discussion on issues related to socialization, can encourage moments of meeting and discussion outside the school, contribute to creating a social network.

Simona (Italy)

simonaappignanesi1 — 2023-05-31 13:42:07 UTC

School and family are two of the educational agencies that know the growth of students. Then there are the sports, parish and social associations, and these are important because they occupy a part of the time of the children. Collaboration with local authorities, for example the municipality, is important because it can offer services that the school cannot provide. For children with special needs, public bodies or associations (sports, recreational, etc.) can help to give help to families with services for the boy or with financial aid.

Assisting families in understanding the needs of the child both in educational and sentimental framework and showing them the way to do so will be a very helpful technique not only for the students with special needs but for all the students. A problem of nowadays is that the parents areworking for so many hours and are absent form home. They do not have time to spend with their children. This is a usual situation and I think we should try to make them be involved.

Katerina Dimou, Greece

katerina4dimou — 2023-05-31 19:04:46 UTC

This technique is very effective since the direct and immediate communication between school and home can solve problems that may arise and let the parents have an image of their child behaviour at school as a part of a team of 20-25 students.

Katerina Dimou, Greece

katerina4dimou — 2023-05-31 19:10:02 UTC

Supporting students with their activities at home is necessary, especially for younger ages, for pupils of Primary School , as they make the children more confident and motivates them to participate in class. The parents of children with special needs perhaps have to spend even more time and following a different learning method according to the teachers' advice and suggestions.

Katerina Dimou, Greece

katerina4dimou — 2023-05-31 19:14:38 UTC

It is very important to teach parents how they can help students with their homework. Parents and teachers should meet frequently ,once or twice a month. During these meetings the teachers present briefly the material that will be covered the following weeks and show parents the difficulties of the teaching materials and what they can do to help their children.

Katerina Dimou, Greece

katerina4dimou — 2023-05-31 19:21:44 UTC

To include parents in school decisions can be very helpful for the school community as long as they respect some limits set by the teacher and the one does not intervene in the role of the other.

Katerina Dimou, Greece

katerina4dimou — 2023-05-31 19:26:03 UTC

The support of the Community Services is crucial and necessary. Organising lectures, meetings with experts who can instruct both teachers and parents and suggest techniques for the better inclusion of all the students and parents in school life is of great importance.

Benefits of including parents and children with special needs in the educational process is of great importance for both the family and the school.
It is important because if the child is included in the educational process, he will be able to develop daily, have help and support from the teachers and will be socialized.
For parents, the benefit is that they will have additional information about how the child grows and develops - from professionals and will have the opportunity to communicate with other parents who may share experience that they can apply in practice.

Vesna Hristova-North Macedonia

2023-06-01 11:54:52 UTC

In communication with parents, I would apply effective and continuous communication by sharing my experience of working with children with special needs and their parents.

Vesna Hristova -North Macedonia

2023-06-01 11:59:28 UTC

If I had to choose between learning at home and learning at school, I would choose learning at school. Because children with special needs need socialization.
But it should be taken into account that there are all kinds of cases and circumstances so that when learning from home is applied, the curriculum would be adapted with technology so that the child can learn in an easier way.
And of course household chores.

Vesna Hristova

2023-06-01 12:01:42 UTC

In the decision-making process, I would include the child's parents, the parental council, by mentioning which decisions would be the most correct and reminding them that we should act for the good of the child.

Vesna Hristova

2023-06-01 12:04:50 UTC

I say for parents-for everone I"m here for you and your children.

I will really try to be their help and support and I will encourage them to be the best parents possible.

The benefit of the types of involvement

2023-06-02 12:32:00 UTC

I think that communicating and decision making are the most important in inclusive education. Benefit for parents is interaction with teachers. Benefit for teachers is better insight into possibilities and needs of pupil. And benefit for pupil is progress due to better cooperation parents and school.

TIZIANA, Italy

tizianafoti — 2023-06-02 16:12:39 UTC

I think that inclusive education is made up of a series of actions that school, teachers and parents do. Collaboration, communication , supporting students at home and support students at school allow students to be motivated to learn and only through cooperation a student can be included and accepted in the classroom. Parents and teacher must cooperate and act together. Students must have continuity with their teachers because their daily routine has to be respected and improved.

Parenting occurs when schools assist families in understanding child development and in setting conditions that support children as students at each age and grade level. Parents of students with special needs tend to understate their children so it's needed that the school communicate with the family and keep a close relationship.

Simona G, Romania

simonageo18 — 2023-06-03 13:02:03 UTC

Communication is the key in creating a healthy environment for all children and especially for special needs children. It is important that parents understand that they can rely on teachers, the dialog is open both sides.

Simona G, Romania

simonageo18 — 2023-06-03 13:07:47 UTC

As a primary school teacher I sometimes invite parents to my class and I explain to the the way the students have to solve some math problems. I teach them exactly as I teach my students in order for them to be able to support their children at home. Sometimes .iIf necesary I invite the in my classroom and let them attend to my classes. This is a specific activity for parents of special needs students. They can see how their children are workind and thety can give support.

Simona G, Romania

simonageo18 — 2023-06-03 13:15:54 UTC

The school can provide help for the family about the student's choises or about its abilies and skills. School should be involved in this because it can project the student's future.

Simona G, Romania

simonageo18 — 2023-06-03 13:22:17 UTC

Parents have to be involved in decision making, and often it happends because it is better to see things both sides: school's view and parents view. Everyone's interest is the well-being of the students, but unfortunately not always the parent reprezentative makes the right choises for the special needs children.

Simona G, Romania

simonageo18 — 2023-06-03 13:29:19 UTC

Collaborating with the community is essential because helps family and students spend quality time, helps on inclusion side. Increases skills and talents through enriched curricular and extracurricular experiences.

Communication occurs when educators, students, and families "design effective forms of school-to-home and home-to-school communication." Effective communication is the key to the success of the child with special needs.

Simona J., Romania

jercalausimona — 2023-06-03 13:55:23 UTC

Voluntary involvement occurs when educators, students and families "recruit and organize the help and support of parents" Parental participation in classroom activities helps them work with children at home. Continuing the teacher's work at home has a beneficial effect on the development of the student with special needs.

Simona J, Romania

jercalausimona — 2023-06-03 14:01:19 UTC

Homeschooling implementation is beneficial when information, ideas, or instruction are provided to educate families about how they can help students at home with homework and other curriculum-related activities, decisions, and planning. The training of parents by specialists gives confidence to both the parent and the child with special needs, and the collaboration leads to a good result.

Simona J, Romania

jercalausimona — 2023-06-03 14:09:09 UTC

Decision-making has a beneficial result, collaboration removes parents' concerns, parent-teacher communication identifies the best methods of action that lead to the development of the child with special needs.

Community involvement in the educational process to "strengthen school programs, family practices, and student learning and development" is essential. This collaboration helps both the parent and the class teacher, offering practices for better inclusion.

Nikolina, Croatia

ninasmrecki — 2023-06-03 17:17:01 UTC

With mutual cooperation and respect, parents and the school understand the child and its needs better. When all parties have a better understanding of what the child needs, appropriate strategies and teaching methods can be chosen, which helps in developing the child's full potential.

Nikolina, Croatia

ninasmrecki — 2023-06-03 17:26:26 UTC

Through mutual and promptly communication, parents have information about their child's behavior and progress at school, and teachers have knowledge of how the child functions at home. Quality communication between parents and school can have a positive effect on the child's success and achievements.

Nikolina, Croatia

ninasmrecki — 2023-06-03 17:33:28 UTC

By involving parents in volunteering, their importance is recognized, the partnership with the school is strengthened, and parents feel more comfortable in the school environment. Teachers will get to know parents better, their talents, possibilities and way of thinking. Students will meet other adults and see the connection between family and school.

Nikolina, Croatia

ninasmrecki — 2023-06-03 17:38:35 UTC

Teachers will strengthen the partnership with parents and at the same time teach them how to help the child at home with homework. Parents will feel more competent and ready to engage in work with their child, while students will be more successful in writing homework and completing school duties.

Nikolina, Croatia

ninasmrecki — 2023-06-03 17:44:35 UTC

Parents' voice should be respected when making decisions that are in the best interest of the child. It is important to set clear boundaries and mutual respect between parents and the school.

Nikolina, Croatia

ninasmrecki — 2023-06-03 17:51:39 UTC

Collaboration with the community is necessary because teachers have information about what additional benefits it provides, and parents and students can use these benefits. The community may offer, for example, additional education programs, extracurricular activities, health services, support groups and more.

Alenka, Croatia

2023-06-04 13:04:08 UTC

The schools establish a trust-building relationship with both the parents and the students. The trust is the first step to meaningful collaboration for all the participants. This is especially important when we talk about SEN students. I believe that all parents should be involved. The difference could only be - in what aspects and to what extent. It gives us something to think about.

Alenka, Croatia

2023-06-04 13:10:31 UTC

When the communication goes both ways, it means that all the participants stick to the same principles, which is benefitial for the students because they know what to expect.

Alenka, Croatia

2023-06-04 13:16:32 UTC

When parent help and support is organized everyone gets to know and understand each other better. Students become better aware of their skills, parents understand teacher's job better and they become aware that families are valued at school, the teachers can direct greater individual attention towards students with help from volunteers.

Alenka, Croatia

2023-06-04 13:20:14 UTC

Families can help students at home. In that way students can understand the homework better und complete it easier. Besides, familiy members are more similar to teachers. Parents feel better because they can help their children. The teachers can design homework assignments better.

Alenka, Croatia

2023-06-04 13:24:47 UTC

When parents are included in school decisions, the students feel that their rights are protected, the parents have the possibilty to share their experiences with other families and they have the feeling that their voice is heard, the teachers have insight in the opinion of the parents as respectable members of a community.

Alenka, Croatia

2023-06-04 13:30:35 UTC

When resources of communities are integrated into school programs, the students can develop their skills better (because of extracurricular activities). They may have better choices for future education and work. The parents can also use the local resources for child's progress, they understand the importance of the school and local community. The teachers also benefit from the help of the local community, because the school can offer more possibilities.

Vasiliki Dogani, Greece

2023-06-04 16:40:46 UTC

Communication is very important. Parent should understand students needs and cooperate with teacher.

Mihaela, Romania

emikkaela — 2023-06-04 18:00:43 UTC

It is most beneficial for parents who do not really master a child's needs entirely. Therefore, providing information, fostering their application, organising workshops, visiting and assisting families at home is priceless, but also a little utopic, as schools do not possess resources to assist all parents...

Mihaela, Romania

emikkaela — 2023-06-04 18:03:49 UTC

Communication is a key factor working two-ways: Parents share their knowledge and personal/specific needs of their child and school teachers observe, assist and make sure relevant changes or expected behaviour is transmitted to the parents.

Mihaela, Romania

emikkaela — 2023-06-04 18:12:12 UTC

When recruiting volunteers from among parents, it is a win-win situation. Parents feel valued and important while their skills are beneficial both for school staff (who get help and support) and for students who have a chance to get exposed to an array of talents.

Mihaela, Romania

emikkaela — 2023-06-04 18:16:24 UTC

One of the most feared school task is definitely the homework. Children dislike it because it steals away their free time, parents worry about it because they do not know how to help. Therefore, empowering parents, offering them guidance to assist their children at homework creates the opportunity of bondage between student-parent-teacher.

Mihaela, Romania

emikkaela — 2023-06-04 18:24:48 UTC

Decision making plays an important role in each individual's personality. With children it gets even more important, since parents feel their most loved ones are to be left in the hands of others. So, they need to feel that teachers are competent, school staff are well trained and reliable, schools are transparent with their policies. Involving parents in the decion-making process, with all difficulties attached, is probably the proof of superior quality of education.

Mihaela, Romania

emikkaela — 2023-06-04 18:29:38 UTC

Reaching out to community involvement is quite important for education, since schools aim to prepare students in order to integrate themselves into a society, while achieving the specific skills/abilities needed.

Igor CROATIA

igor_nikicic — 2023-06-05 09:47:18 UTC

Reflect on what would be the benefit of the types of involvement for students, parents and teachers in inclusive education?
It would bring the common needs to one "mission" and goal. The participants would value the education more as they would consider it to be more "their".
Is there a difference to involvement of parents of children with special needs? Yes, they could share their experiences but should have the same "power" of decision.

Luminița Dulgheru from Romania

Comunication îs the most important thing .

Romina Marchesani, Italy

rominamarchesani2 — 2023-06-06 13:23:18 UTC

Support your child's decisions. Give your children freedom and time to discover their skills. Provide motivation to develop and achieve. Provide encouragement to pursue interests and ambitions.

Mihaela Paduraru Comanoiu-Romania

padurarumihaela2012 — 2023-06-06 13:43:47 UTC

Here the role of the school and the experts is very important, because families can be ....subjective. Sometimes parents need a "guide"

Mihaela Paduraru Comanoiu -Romania

padurarumihaela2012 — 2023-06-06 13:46:16 UTC

School-family communication is the one that will lead to positive results, when the school does not know what the family is doing and vice versa... they cannot complement each other.

Mihaela Paduraru Comanoiu - Romania

padurarumihaela2012 — 2023-06-06 13:49:32 UTC

I think that if you don't show your parents what you are doing, you are clearly not successful! Neither with the student, nor with the parents! I am a fan of activities in collaboration with parents! And I encourage fellow teachers to do such collaborative and open activities! They can't fail such activities!

Mihaela Paduraru Comanoiu - Romania

padurarumihaela2012 — 2023-06-06 13:52:05 UTC

The involvement of parents in decision-making is very important, both for them as they will feel an integral part in the education of their students, and for schools as they will know how to plan certain events in the future.

Mihaela Paduraru Comanoiu - Romania

padurarumihaela2012 — 2023-06-06 13:55:13 UTC

Sometimes, even though the parents have the impression that they know, they need a "guide", an advice and a plan for the home. If you make them an adapted program, the parents will gladly follow it...

Mihaela Paduraru Comanoiu - Romania

padurarumihaela2012 — 2023-06-06 13:59:50 UTC

Of course, the community also has its role, because the school and the parents cannot achieve their goals if the others, the community, the society will not become an integral part. It is important for a child not only that the teachers and family are part of his life, but also the whole community.

Irene from Italy

confalone — 2023-06-07 16:59:37 UTC

Help all families establish home environments to support children as students. Home visits at transition points to pre-school, elementary, middle, and high school. Neighborhood meetings to help families understand schools and to help schools understand families

Irene

confalone — 2023-06-07 17:01:09 UTC

Design effective forms of school-to-home and home-to-school communications about school programs and children's progress. It is the first step1 Sometimes the communication is really difficult even more impossible.

Irene from Italy

confalone — 2023-06-07 17:02:35 UTC

Self-confidence about ability to work in school and with children or to take steps to improve own education.
Awareness that families are welcome and valued at school.

Irene from Italy

confalone — 2023-06-07 17:03:23 UTC

Design and organize a regular schedule of interactive homework (e.g., weekly or bimonthly) that gives students responsibility for discussing important things they are learning and helps families stay aware of the content of their children's classwork.

Irene from Italy

confalone — 2023-06-07 17:04:16 UTC

Include parent leaders from all racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and other groups in the school. x Offer training to enable leaders to serve as representatives of other families, with input from and return of information to all parents. x Include students (along with parents) in decision-making groups.

Irene from Italy

confalone — 2023-06-07 17:05:04 UTC

Assure equity of opportunities for students and families to participate in community programs or to obtain services. x Match community contributions with school goals, integrate child and family services with education

Understanding the concerns and education level of families helps the teacher to provide best support for them and makes the familie feel involved. The parents of children with special needs require more knowledge about the educational system and how some children develop depending on their condition, programs to assist and teach families with health and needs ar a very good idea.

Maria, Romania

2023-06-09 14:34:34 UTC

Opening all communication channels will lead to a correct integration of students in the school and comunity. With the increase in the use of media platforms and online meetings, this is increasingly easy and within the reach of any school or family. Good open communication lades to awareness of child progress and needs.

Maria, Romania

2023-06-09 14:42:39 UTC

This type of involvement is the most profound at the level of understanding the work carried out in the school by the teaching staff, it is an opportunity for self-education and a closeness to both the school and the community.
However, this type of involvement in the case of parents of children with special needs can become overwhelming, the teacher should maintain a balance of this type of involvement for all the parents of the class.

Maria

2023-06-09 14:48:53 UTC

This is a type of involvement that requires more preparation and training on both sides, the school and the family. correct and structured information is needed to prepare parents to work with children at home. Feedback must be constant between both parties for this type of engagement to become a habit for the benefit of the children

Maria, Romania

2023-06-09 14:53:14 UTC

The involvement of parents in the decisions made by the school is proof of the partnership and the common goal of improving the chances of education and integration into the community regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic condition or special needs.

Maria, Romania

2023-06-09 14:59:21 UTC

Collaboration at the community level is the desire of any educational institution that wants to achieve the integration of all its students. The development of programs and projects together with institutions and private companies will allow an easier entry into the labor market of later graduating students. It is an opportunity to create support groups at the society level and to develop interpersonal networks to help the families of children with special needs.

Corina, Romania

In our school, parents are members of the governing board together with teachers and representatives of the local community and make decisions together, in the interest of the school.

Parents of students with disabilities face many challenges in parenting. Sometimes it happens that they are overprotective towards their child, generally more difficult to set boundaries for children, sometimes they expect too much from the teacher, and they themselves are not consistent in carrying out agreements and tasks. It would be very useful for parents to join support groups where they would receive adequate help and guidance.

Ana

2023-06-20 21:26:57 UTC

Communication with parents should generally be cooperative, benevolent, and respectful. You should be especially careful when communicating with parents of students with disabilities. You have to keep in mind that some parents are traumatized by bad news about their child's condition. In communication, one should be honest, focused on solving problems and positive. Offer solutions that are possible and realistic.

Ana

2023-06-20 21:31:44 UTC

I think it is very important to involve parents in various activities that are carried out at school, including volunteering. Through volunteering, a parent feels useful, gets the opportunity to give back to the community, the opportunity to make spontaneous contact with school employees and cooperate with them unrelated to their own child.

Ana

2023-06-20 21:34:58 UTC

It is important to guide parents well so that they can be a good support for their children at home in mastering the teaching content. Sometimes parents are insecure and afraid that they will do something wrong. Teacher has to provide concrete information and direct them to places where they can seek help (eg video lessons, presentations..).

Ana

2023-06-20 21:37:41 UTC

Parents play a crucial role in their children's education and should be active participants in the decision-making process. By recognizing the importance of parental involvement and including parents in decision-making processes, teachers can create a more inclusive, effective, and supportive educational environment for their students.

Ana

2023-06-20 21:42:28 UTC

Parents serve as a vital link between the school and the community, and involving them in the daily work of the school can have numerous benefits - they can contribute to many school activities with their knowledge, they can provide books, material, equipment, they can volunteer, they can help with organizing events, fund raising...

It's important that parents guide the child to learn at home.

Sandra Carvalho - Portugal

2023-06-27 21:56:54 UTC

Positive parent-school communications benefit parents, teachers and most importantly the students. The manner in which schools communicate and interact with parents affects the extent and quality of parents' home involvement with their children's learning. For example, schools that communicate bad news about student performance more often than recognizing students' excellence will discourage parent involvement by making parents feel they cannot effectively help their children.

Parents benefit from being involved in their children's education by getting ideas from school on how to help and support their children, and by learning more about the school's academic program and how it works. And it also helps teachers to know how parents deal with their children at home.

All the types of involvement presented before are beneficial for all parts, and it would be ideal to combine all of them according to the type of parents we have.
Research shows that parental involvement can free teachers to focus more on the task of teaching children. Also, by having more contact with parents, teachers learn more about students' needs and home environment, which is information they can apply toward better meeting those needs. Parents who are involved tend to have a more positive view of teachers, which results in improved teacher morale.

involvement occurs when information, ideas, or training are provided to educate families about how they can “help students at home with homework and other curriculum-related activities, decisions, and planning.”
