About the author
An ultimate part of my education reflection began when I graduated from University of Buffalo and received my BS in social work. Pursuing this background gave me the capability to identify problems, set up a plan of action, and follow through to get results. This procedural and analytic approach to problems allows me to provide services for clients on a regular basis. During this time of supplying services for clients, I was promoted to a counselor also. Both areas worked well together. All these trainings, skills, and dynamics allowed me to actually work on any problematic situation. This education choice was very beneficial to me regardless of where I worked. Graduating from State University College at Buffalo with an MS in Student Personnel Administration was a definite start that directed me toward becoming an elementary teacher. Even though you are working with parents and their children, you actually solve problems and procedures similarly. It helps if you have a background in solving problems. Having Social Work knowledge gives you more opportunities to get parents engaged in the classroom.Other authors have mentioned, that parents should commit to their child’s education. Any teacher that promotes raising academic achievement for students is familiar with the concept of parent participation and the benefits. Displaying your positive dedication in assisting parents surely, will motivate parents to visit their child’s school.
