Parental Involvement Plan
Parental involvement is an essential component of this instructional plan for the unit on cooking and habits in the kitchen. As part of the this instructional plan, parents will receive formal and informal updates.
Formal Updates
Parents will receive information about the different units of curriculum, including this unit on cooking and kitchen skills, at the beginning of the school year, at the school's curriculum night, and at parent-teacher conferences.
Parents will receive information and help develop the individualized curriculum for their child during formal IEP meetings and meetings during the evaluation and planning of the student's IEP. In the context of this unit, an individualized goal might be to "master the skill of loading the dishwasher."
Parents will receive weekly reports about the child's progress in the unit. These reports will cover the week's specific learning goals for each student and will provide evidence to support the child's progress in toward their learning goal. For example, suppose one of the learning goals for a student was to "independently wash hands before and after touching food." Under this goal, the teacher would include evidence in the form of data and anecdote to support the child's the progress.
Informal Updates
On a daily basis parents will receive email updates with pictures and short summaries of student progress. For example, the instructor may email a picture of the student independently stirring a mixture to the parents during the week of the unit that focused on baking.
