Web Conference Objectives


Family Engagement

Shared responsibility

Continuous across a

child’s life

Carried out everywhere that children

learn

Defined by the National Family, School, and Community Engagement Working

Group, June 2009


Head Start Roadmap to Excellence

“HHS will revise the

current parent

involvement and family

and community

partnerships Performance

Standards so that they

reflect the latest research

and best practices on

family engagement.”January 2010


Engagement vs. Involvement?


9 Key Elements of Family Engagement

1. Listen to each

family member



2. Demonstrate respect

and empathy for family

members



3. Develop an

understanding of the

family’s past

experience, current

situations, concerns

and strengths



4. Respond to

concrete

needs quickly



5. Establish the purpose of involvement

with the family



6. Be aware of one’s

own biases and

prejudices



7. Validate the

participatory role of

the family



8. Be consistent,

reliable and honest



9. Engage and involve

fathers and

paternal family

members


Simply attending a workshop or

meeting does not necessarily result in

an educator or family member

changing their beliefs or actions.

Ferguson, Ramos, Rudo, & Wood, 2008


No Magic Solution

We need to look at this

in a comprehensive

way. There is no magic

wand to wave over

this. -Dennis Hastert


Think Outside of the Box

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts

into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is

a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner

of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. -Dee Hock

Performance Standards?


The 5 Ways

1. Training 2. Newsletter3. Special

Events

4. Communication

5. Peer Education


Training

#1


The Human Learner

Senses Filters Memory


Key Point #1

Learning is change.

The change begins with

receiving information

from as many senses

as possible.


Key Point #2

If the information is

transmitted in a meaningful,

organized, and relevant way,

it will pass the learner’s

filters and short term

memory.


Key Point #3

Information that is chunked

and organized appropriately

to the learner’s ability and

experience level is more

easily stored in long term

memory.


What oral health topics have you

delivered to parents?


What oral health curricula have you

used?

Communication

#4


Effective interpersonal

communication is the key to

building staff/parent

partnerships. This

partnership recognizes and

supports the significant role

that parents play in the

Head Start program and in the lives of their children.


Effective staff/parent communication is a

two-way process, where both staff and

parents give and receive information and

feel valued.


People respond positively to

communications that are

relevant and appealing, and

that are expressed clearly.

By understanding and

employing the factors that

contribute to successful

communications, staff can

increase the effectiveness

of their communications

with parents.


Communication Varies…

Passive

• Newsletters

• Mass Email Alerts

• Web Site

• Fact Sheets

• Letters

One on One

• Phone

• Email

• In person meetings

Group

• Parent meeting

• Social events

• Training

Case Study on Communication

While standing in the reception

area of the Head Start center

where you work, you Betsy Ruiz,

a parent waiting for her child.

She confides in you that she is

three months pregnant with her

second child. Since you have a

bit of free time, you decide to

take this opportunity to discuss

some oral health care issues

with her, and so you bring her

back to your office.


Case Study on Communication

How would you address Betsy’s

needs using a passive

communication tool?

How you would address Betsy’s

needs in a one-on-one situation?

How would you address Betsy’s

needs in a group setting?


Peer Education

#5


What is Peer Education?

Peer Education is an approach to

health promotion, in which

community members are supported

to promote health-enhancing change

among their peers.-Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_promotion


Common Elements in Peer Education

Models

► Applied to public health

► Effect change at the individual level by attempting to

modify a person's knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, or

behaviors.

► Professional development and training opportunities

for peer educators

► Clear role of the peer educator

► Community involvement and ownership is critical for

the continuity and sustainability of a peer education

program.


If you had to create your

own Peer Education Model,

what would be your primary

focus for oral health?
