Module 3 Who are Families? Activity #1: Thinking about Families

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?
  4. How are the strategies you identified in Module 1 working? What is going well? What may need to be changed? What have you learned about yourself as a student in an online class?

Pick 1 reading:

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? How specifically did the families demonstrate those strengths?
  3. What challenges do the families you read and saw in the videos face?
  4. Which model of programming from Baker & Manfretti/ Petit, 2004 in Module 2 are the program staff using to work with families?  Give specific evidence to support your response.
