My team have 3 people. I am from China, this is my second semester of MBA. I don't have any work experience. I have been in USA 4 years. I have some problems of language. Sometimes I don’t understand what they talk about in class meeting. But we are good in most of time. It’s better for me to communicate through typing and text. We did our team report, communicated only on Canvas by using the “team discussion”. We upload our separate tasks, and provide opinions or questions. We have the email and phone number of each other, but rarely using it. One of my teammate is Samista Manandhar, she is a really kind and helpful woman. Even she is from Nepal, she has no problem of speaking English. She has married. She is a good student, and always think of things roundly. She helps me a lot on our team paper. She replies me quickly in email when I met some problems. Here is her introduction: Background: Born in Bhaktapur, Nepal. Attended college at Tribhuvan University and received Master’s Degree in Conflict, Peace and Development Studies in 2014. Also, have received Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from the same university in Kathmandu, Nepal. In addition to school, recently working in Bay Area Health Clinic in billing department. Country of Origin: Nepal Experience: Have over 8 years’ experience working with Nepal Red Cross in different roles. I started as a youth volunteer and was selected as National Youth Delegate to Norwegian Red Cross for year 2011 and 2012. I have worked in disaster management and Water sanitation departments of Nepal Red Cross Society. I have been trained as Regional Disaster Response Team Member and have been deployed as a Team Leader to respond during Nepal Earthquake 2016. I have experience of working with people with different ethnicity, nationality and culture. Working with Red Cross has developed tolerance, respect and leadership qualities in me. Being able to help vulnerable people makes me happy and satisfied.I plan to major in Management. Another guy is David Bell. He is American. He also treats me nicely. And he will ask me about my part of task. He is a little worried about if I would do my part in time, since he has a bad memory of a foreign partner before. He told me that guy did nothing of their team report, he had to finish all of the stuffs by himself. Maybe I gave him the first impression was not perfect, because of my bad English. But I tell him I won’t be the leg, and I did my part. I think he will know that I am not a lazy guy. He hasn’t give me his introduction yet. I will upload it once I got it.

For this Performance Task, you will create a PowerPoint presentation with an accompanying script for a half-hour presentation. Your PowerPoint will provide current and relevant research-based information on the importance of strong and supportive staff-family partnerships and address issues that impact staff-family relationships.Fostering Caring and Meaningful Partnerships between Staff and FamiliesAs the Director of an early childhood education program that includes a very diverse community of families, you understand the importance of developing meaningful connections between all of the significant adults in children’s lives. You have determined that one of the program goals for this coming year is to improve the number, types, and depth of staff-family partnerships. As a first step, you asked staff to share their thoughts, questions, and concerns about working and partnering with families, and you received the following responses:“I am working so hard on developing relationships with the children, especially at the beginning of the year, that I don’t have time to focus on families.”“My children have such diverse backgrounds this year. I’m not sure I can figure out how to communicate with all of their families.”“We put a lot of work into Family Day and not everyone comes. How should we follow up with families who didn’t make the effort to join in?”“Some families seem very hard to reach. How long do you keep trying?”“I wish our families would get to know each other better. I think that might help them connect to our program.”“I know there are different perspectives on parenting, but how do I balance the cultural preferences they have with what’s best for the children?”The staff’s responses/questions tell you that most of the staff is interested in developing knowledge and skills in this area. You decide to bring everyone together to talk and to learn in a workshop format. You create a PowerPoint presentation to encourage conversation and professional development on this topic, which is so vital to children’s healthy development and learning.To complete this Assessment:Use the PowerPoint Template provided to create a presentation with an accompanying script that begins with a Title Slide, ends with a Reference Slide, and includes slides that cover:A brief introduction explaining why strong partnerships between staff and families are vital to all involved.
