School-Age Care as a Family Service: Emphasis on Planning Opportunities for Family Involvement |
2.00 |
The foundation for getting parents involved in school-age programs is to keep parents well informed about what is happening in the program. Quality programs also provide parents with opportunities to make suggestions and give feedback on program services through suggestion boxes, feedback forms, and surveys. When parents are encouraged to have input in the program, they develop trust and confidence in the program, and feel a sense of pride and ownership. They are more likely to participate as resourceful partners with program staff when they know their ideas are welcome and valued. Finally, because parents are all different from each other, it's important to provide many different opportunities for them to connect with the program. Staff in quality school-age programs recognize that all parents don't have to be involved in the same way. |

Health and Stress Management for Paraprofessionals |

Every day, paraprofessionals dedicate themselves to caring for and nurturing students and families. Often, paraprofessionals are so dedicated to serving others, they neglect their own needs.

When they maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle, paraprofessionals are in a much better position to face the challenges of supporting and nurturing children and families with positive energy, enthusiasm, patience, and empathy.
By developing self-awareness, linking their personal and professional goals, developing a healthy balanced lifestyle, and identifying and managing stressors effectively, they can create and maintain a positive sense of well-being that allows them to maximize their ability to build positive relationships with students, parents, colleagues, and others. |
