Educators work with families from diverse backgrounds. In order to develop an in-depth
appreciation for the differences among the families of our students, it is important to consider
how we might respond to real-life situations. Case studies provide opportunities to analyze and
address difficult situations outside of the classroom in order to prepare educators for the realities
and challenges of teaching.
For this assignment, you will review an assigned case study and write a 400-500-word essay in
current APA format that contains three sections, which address the following components:
1. Identify the key issue or issues in the case study.
2. Recommend a plan for developing and/or maintaining a positive working relationship
with the parent featured in the case study, and supporting the child of that parent, who is
a student in your class or school.
3. Provide a rationale for the plan you have chosen.
You must include at least one citation from your textbook and at least one citation from another
scholarly resource in this assignment. Resources should be listed on the reference page in current
APA format.
