Citing extensively from both the videos and the reading (I explain how to cite in posts in this video) answer the questions below:

  1. Which article did you chose? Why?
  2. What are the strengths of the families you read about and saw in the videos?
  3. What challenges do the families you read and saw in the videos face?
  4. How are the program staff from the readings and videos using the family model of relationship-based programming from Baker & Manfretti/ Petit, 2004 (p. 13) in Module 2 Assignment #1 to form relationships with families? Identify specific practices. What else could staff do?

Community Building Questions

As part of strengthening our learning community, please answer the following questions so we can get to know each other:

  1. How are you doing today?
  2. What is your favorite color?
  3. What is your favorite food?
  4. What is your favorite movie?
  5. What is your favorite hobby?
  6. WOULD YOU PREFER THE DAY THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE EACH WEEK BE WEDNESDAY AT 11:59 PM instead of Sunday at 11:59 PM?  If everyone agrees, I will revise the dates the modules/ assignments are due to be Wednesday.  It must be unanimous for me to make the change, and would start with Module 5.

Reflect on then answer the following questions on FlipGrid (https://flipgrid.com/cf4ce4ad log in using your first name as listed on CUNY First):

  1. Who is in your family?
  2. How do you define family?
  3. What did the staff in the schools you attended (pre-K through high school) do to build relationships with all members of your family — not just your parents/ guardians?  How did that impact you? How did it impact your family’s connection to your teachers/ school?
