For  this assignment, you will create a plan for your second grade class  describing how you would engage families and the community in the  development and learning of young children with and without  exceptionalities in your class. Review  the “Class Profile” and the students’ needs, strengths, and  demographics. Based on the diversity of the “Class Profile,” create a  1,000-1,250 word family and community engagement plan that you will use  for this class of students. Use the “Family and Community Engagement Plan Template” to complete this assignment. Include the following in your plan: Methods of communication for parents/teachers/volunteers/other service providers to promote respectful, reciprocal relationships. Volunteer  opportunities within your classroom and school, for the community and  families, that accommodate different schedules and needs (including  working families), and are designed to help build safe, positive  learning environments with supportive and respectful interaction. In  addition, include a description of how you will provide  orientation/training for the volunteers. How  you will respond empathetically, ethically, and legally to family  emergencies or families in crisis. Include safe intervention strategies  in your plan for these unexpected circumstances for families with  children both with and without exceptionalities. Strategies  and procedures for sharing educational and community resources with  families of students with and without exceptionalities. Brief  rationales for each section as indicated on the template. Rationales  should address how the “Class Profile” was incorporated into the  section. Include  research to support and explain your choices. Specifically, include  three or more resources that discuss how language, culture, and family  background can influence the learning of students with and without  exceptionalities, as well as the importance of family involvement in  student achievement, especially in the early years of an education.
