Luis’s family has been very difficult to reach via phone and notes home. Mr. Marks recognizes he will have to try different avenues for reaching this family. How can Mr. Marks make use of current technologies or alternative approaches to communication to engage Luis’s family this year?
What will be an ideal response?
If the family has access to the Internet and/or e-mail, he can use these to reach Luis’s family.
E-mail is quick and efficient if families have access to a computer.
A classroom website can be an effective communication tool and a means for children to share their school activities with their families.
Websites can be a rich source of information for families and offer a quick and easy form of reciprocal communication for families with computers.
Skype or videoconferencing might be another avenue to explore.
Cell phones and text messaging can also be used to immediately call parents to share positive behavior and then put the child on the phone for praise from the parent.
Home visits might be another strategy; Mr. Marks goes to Luis’s family rather than vice versa.
He might want to meet with Luis’s family in a general location (like a community center in Luis’s neighborhood or a local coffee shop) or even arrange to meet at the family’s workplace.
