You have been asked by your school district to prepare a PowerPoint and present it at the next Board of Education meeting. Keep in mind that you are presenting to parents and the community, so don’t use language that is abstract or contains many acronyms used mainly by teachers. Use the PowerPoint template that is designated for this assignment.
Develop a PowerPoint presentation (Template uploaded below) for parents and the community with the following slides:
Introduce the parents and community to the essential components of literacy programs and include common terminology. A simple graphic should guide your comments for this slide.
Define the diagnostic approach or framework in a simple format for parents and the community.
Explain how family and parents affect a student’s early literacy and continued literacy skill throughout his or her schooling. Explain to parents what they can do right now.
Give examples of the essential components of literacy programs within a diagnostic framework and how home and community support are critical for success.
List your references and resources in APA format.
Prior to submitting your assignment, double-check that you have addressed these three focus questions:
What are the essential components of a literacy program within a diagnostic framework?
What is the role of assessment in a diagnostic literacy program?
What is the role of the parents and community in an effective literacy program?
Slide presentation speaker notes should be written in the box below each slide and should focus on concrete examples and encouragement for parents and community members–making it clear that success depends on their help.
