Lesson 31: Parental participation in the ECE programme
Levels of parental participation in early education
|
Ira Gordon (1969a) has conceptualized parent’s possible involvement in early education at several different levels.
- Parents as an audience (passive role-conferences, newsletters etc)
- Parents as a reference (active role-insights and perspectives on their child)
- Parents as the teacher of the child
- Parents as volunteers in the classroom
- Parents as trained or paid aides
- Parents as participants in the decision making process.
