THE  BIG  IDEA  

Family  Engagement  

QuesIons  to  consider  

• What  does  the  relaIonship  between  the  family  and  service  coordinator  look  like?  

• What  does  the  relaIonship  between  the  family  and  the  primary  service  provider  look  like?

Family  Engagement  defined  

“Family  engagement  occurs  when  there  is  an  on-­‐going,  reciprocal,  strengths-­‐based  

partnership  between  families  and  their  children’s  early  childhood  educaIon  

programs.”  

(Halgunseth,  Peterson,  Stark,  &  Moodie,  2009,  p.  3)  

Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   7  

Why  engage  families?  

“A  growing  body  of  research  suggests  that  meaningful  engagement  of  families  in  their  children’s  early  learning  supports  school  readiness  and  later  academic  success”    

(Henrich  &  Gadaire,  2008;  Weiss,  Caspe,  &  Lopez,  2006)

Comprehensive  DefiniIon  of  Family  Engagement:  6  Factors  

1.  Early  childhood  educaIon  programs  encourage  and  validate  family  parIcipaIon  in  decision  making  related  to  their  children’s  educaIon.  Families  should  act  as  advocates  for  their  children  and  early  childhood  educaIon  programs  by  acIvely  taking  part  in  decision  making  opportuniIes.    

2.  Consistent,  two-­‐way  communicaIon  is  facilitated  through  mulIple  forms  and  is  responsive  to  the  linguisIc  preference  of  the  family.  CommunicaIon  should  be  both  school  and  family  iniIated  and  should  be  Imely  and  conInuous,  inviIng  conversaIons  about  both  the  child’s  educaIonal  experience  as  well  as  the  larger  program.    

(Halgunseth,  Peterson,  Stark,  &  Moodie,  2009,  p.  3)  Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   9  

Comprehensive  DefiniIon  of  Family  Engagement:  6  Factors  

3.Families  and  early  childhood  educaIon  programs  collaborate  and  exchange  knowledge.  Family  members  share  their  unique  knowledge  and  skills  through  volunteering  and  acIvely  engaging  in  events  and  acIviIes  at  schools.  Teachers  seek  out  informaIon  about  their  students’  lives,  families,  and  communiIes  and  integrate  this  informaIon  into  their  curriculum  and  instrucIonal  pracIces.    

4.Early  childhood  educaIon  programs  and  families  place  an  emphasis  on  creaIng  and  sustaining  learning  acIviIes  at  home  and  in  the  community  that  extend  the  teachings  of  the  program  so  as  to  enhance  each  child’s  early  learning.    

(Halgunseth,  Peterson,  Stark,  &  Moodie,  2009,  p.  3)  Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   10

Comprehensive  DefiniIon  of  Family  Engagement:  6  Factors  

5.Families  create  a  home  environment  that  values  learning  and  supports  programs.  Programs  and  families  collaborate  in  establishing  goals  for  children  both  at  home  and  at  school.    

6.Early  childhood  educaIon  programs  create  an  ongoing  and  comprehensive  system  for  promoIng  family  engagement  by  ensuring  that  program  leadership  and  teachers  are  dedicated,  trained  and  receive  the  supports  they  need  to  fully  engage  families.

At  the  heart  of  the  IFSP…  

“The  IFSP  is  a  promise  to  children  and  families  –  a  promise  that  their  strengths  will  be  recognized  and  built  on,  that  their  

needs  will  be  met  in  a  way  that  is  respecrul  of  their  beliefs  and  values,  

and  that  their  hopes  and  aspiraIons  will  be    encouraged  and  

enabled.”  

(McGonigel,  Kaufman,  &  Johnson,  1991)

• “on-­‐going,  reciprocal,  strengths-­‐based  partnership  between  families  and  professionals”  (Halgunseth  et  al.,  2009,  p.  3)  

ENGAGE  

• “CreaIng  opportuniIes  for  family  members  to  become  more  competent  and  self-­‐sustaining  with  respect  to  their  abiliIes  to  mobilize  their  social  networks  to  get  needs  met  and  asain  desired  goals”  (Deal,  Dunst,  &  Trivese,  1989,  p.  33)  

ENABLE  

• “Carrying  out  intervenIons  in  a  manner  in  which  family  members  acquire  a  sense  of  control  over  their  own  development  course  as  a  result  of  their  efforts  to  meet  their  needs”  (Deal  et  al.,  1989,  p.33)

It  all  begins  with  a  VISION...  

“I  want  Will  to  grow  up  with  friends,  parIcipate  in  hobbies  and  sports  that  interest  him,  and  to  learn  to  waterski.”  (from  an  actual  IFSP)

How  do  we  define  QUALITY  in  the  context  of  the  IFSP?  

“…one  that  uses  an  individualized  process  to  produce  a  wrisen  plan  that  exceeds  

minimal  legal  requirements  and  responds  to  family  concerns,  resources,  and  prioriIes  

about  their  children”  

(Campbell,  Strickland,  &  LaForme,  1992,  p.  113)

Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   25  

Tips  for  Using  the  Training  Slides  To  Follow  

•  “Chunks”  –  maybe  one  component  at  a  Ime  or  a  few  at  a  Ime  

•  Individualize  to  program/team/provider  needs  

•  Disseminate  to  new  staff  as  part  of  training  or  as  a  review/refresher  for  exisIng  staff  

•  5  quality  components  =  enIre  process  (not  just  what  happens  at  the  IFSP  meeIng)

• Goodness  of  fit  between  skills  and  rouIne  

FAMILY  

• Strengths  • Resources  • Challenges  • PrioriIes  

LEARNING  OPPORTUNITIES

• Within  each  interac5on  

Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   29  

Other  Ips…  •  Use  specific  examples  to  illustrate  points    •  Avoid  narraIve  repeat  of  evaluaIon  findings    •  Avoid  use  of  jargon  and  acronyms  (i.e.,  ROM,  pre-­‐linguisIc  skills,  bringing  hands  to  midline)  

•  Write  in  clear  simple  language  that  families,  referral  agents,  and  team  members  can  easily  understand  (i.e.,  "has"  vs.  "presents  with"  or  "uses"  vs.  "uIlizes")  

•  hsp://www.ifspweb.org/flow/pre_ifsp_team_assess.html

Jumping  Off  the  Family  Assessment  Bandwagon  

(Slentz  &  Bricker,  1992)  

“The  process  of  family  assessment  can  carry  the  hidden  message  that  because  a  child  has  special  needs,  the  family  must  have  problems”  (Slentz  &  Bricker,  1992,  p.  14)  

How  do  we  avoid  this?  Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   31  

relaIonship-­‐building  

IFSP  =  “a  service  that  takes  place  in  the  relaIonship  and  interacIons  between  families  and  professionals”    

(Healy,  Keesee,  &  Smith,  1989,  p.  690)  Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   32

Thinking  about  family  assessment…  

Authors’  recommendaIon:    

“Family  outcomes  are  included  in  the  IFSP  as  they  arise,  rather  than  being  idenDfied  at  

entry  into  the  program”    (Slentz  &  Bricker,  1992,  p.  15)  

What  do  you  think?

Family  outcomes  

•  Related  to  the  5  general  family  outcomes  specified  by  the  Early  Childhood  Outcomes  (ECO)  Center:  –  Families  understand  their  child's  strengths,  abiliIes,  and  special  needs.  

–  Families  know  their  rights  and  advocate  effecIvely  for  their  child.  

–  Families  help  their  child  develop  and  learn.  –  Families  have  support  systems.  –  Families  access  desired  services,  programs,  and  acIviIes  in  their  community.

IFSP  Outcomes:  Tips  for  WriIng  •  Discipline-­‐free  •  Jargon-­‐free  •  Progress  can  be  measured  by  family  •  “Third-­‐word  rule”  

– The  3rd  word  in  the  outcome  statement  should  be  a  funcIonal  concept  

– E.g.  “Sam  will  sit    in  the  bathtub  during  his  bath…”

•  We  want  to  learn  strategies  to  help  Andrea  during  feeding  so  that  she  can  eat  safely.  

•  Nina  will  walk  on  her  own  so  that  she  can  start  exploring  her  environment  more  independently.  

•  We  want  Kevin  to  be  able  to  stack  3-­‐5  blocks,  zip  his  coat  by  pulling  on  the  shank,  and  hold  his  drink  cup.  

•  We  want  Marie  to  be  decrease  hi3ng  and  be  able  to  iniIate  play  with  her  peers  in  the  classroom  by  verbalizing  a  greeIng  such  as  “hi”.

(McWilliam,  Ferguson,  Harbin,  Porter,  Munn,  &  Vandiviere,  1998)  

“The  IFSP  is  a  tangible  reflecIon  of  the  service  provider’s  philosophy.”  

Gatmaitan,  M.,  &  Bregel,  C.  (2013)      Ohio/KSU  EI  Community  of  PracIce   85  

YOU  are  the  curriculum.  

“The  most  important  ‘curriculum’  is  the  

emerging  relaIonship  between  the  family  and  the  professional.”  

(Espe-­‐Sherwindt,  1991,  p.  117)
