A New Script for Working with Parents
Wischnowski, Michael W.; Cianca, Marie
Phi Delta Kappan, v93 n6 p34-37 Mar 2012
Parent/teacher relationships are fraught with potential for perilous misunderstandings amid what often are construed as conflicting interests. Perhaps that is nowhere more true than in parent/teacher relationships regarding children with disabilities. The authors report on a program at St. John Fisher College where teams of preservice teachers collaborate with parents of children with learning disabilities in an effort to give them experience in and an appreciation for collaborating with parents and negotiating the social services network.
