How can teachers incorporate family systems thinking into their teaching?
What will be an ideal response?
Teachers first recognize that, like systems, family members are interconnected.
A change affecting one member of a family affects all other members and the family unit as a whole.
Teachers must consider children and their behaviors and needs within the context of their families to better understand children and their behaviors inside/outside of school.
The more complex the family systems or the more families that children belong to the more contexts teachers must get to know and understand.
