LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY3
Part A: Personal Statement
What is curriculum? What is the role of family and community in contributing to
the programs?
The role of community and family is important for building curriculum and its
development. The problem is mooted in positive production with family and community and
its involvement in school related activities. According to the comprehensive study, there are
certain types of involvement for the community and family in establishing the school that is
termed as school-family-community partnership (Epstein et al., 2018). Firstly the concept of
parenting is very much responsible for curriculum development and management.
The parenting skill is a determinant and responsible factor for child and adolescent
development and setting the condition of home to provide complete support to the teaching
and learning activities within the school (McCarthy et al., 2016). This activity also enables
the family to provide the educators about the cultural background of the family and their the
nature of their children. Secondly, the activity involves the appropriate skill of
communication. The communication refers to school-to-home and home-to-school
communication program. It helps the institutions to understand the background of the
families and it helps the families to understand the institutional practices (Trevarthen et al.,
2018).
Thirdly, the activity involves the proper volunteering about the procedures of
recruiting, training and other schedules for the parents to perform as volunteers. For example,
the school may gather information about the family members and talents and their availability
about the volunteer services (Ismail, Hamed & Ismail, 2017). Learning at home is a
procedure that involves complete participation of the family members and proper
coordination of the academic institution. It may include the interactive homework setting
