Education Annotated Bibliography: Benefits of Parent Involvement in the School Program

Early Childhood Education Prompt:
Imagine yourself as a teacher for students who are between the ages of 3 to 5 year old.
You are the lead teacher and have two teacher assistants.
You have a classroom of 16 children.
Suppose that during your child observations you noticed that 5 out of 16 children are having a problem with the lack of parent involvement in the school program. For instance, you have noticed that the parents of these 5 children don’t participate as much or at all with their children’s educational needs whether it’s in the classroom or at home.
As the teacher you have to help the children by encouraging and motivating the parents to be actively involved in their children’s education by either participating, volunteering, and or simply helping their child with adult supervision in completing activities.
Therefore, your topic is the Benefits of Parent Involvement in the School Program.
But for your first task I want you create an Annotated Bibliography.
Here are your instructions for Annotated Bibliography:
Step #1: I want you to find 6 different articles that are from your topic of Benefits of Parent Involvement in the School Program.
3 articles have to be educational articles from college’s online library website and the other 3 educational articles you have the freedom to look for them online in any website just as long as they are educational articles.
(NOTE TO WRITER: I ALREADY LOCATED 3 EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES FROM MY COLLEGE’S ONLINE LIBRARY. I POSTED THOSE 3 ARTICLES AS PDF’S IN THE ORDER FORM. NOW I JUST NEED HELP LOCATING THREE MORE EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES FROM ANY WEBSITE JUST AS LONG AS THE ARTICLES ARE EDUCATIONAL)
Step #2: When you write your Annotated bibliography it should include a full APA reference and a short summary of the article you selected. The summary should be a minimum 5 complete sentences. 3 of the 6 articles must be articles retrieved from the college's online library.
Below is an example of an Annotated Bibliography with a different topic that includes 6 different educational articles.
Articles from The Andrew Norman College Library
Article #1:
Fujiwara, A., Sonyama, S. (2019) Promoting social play based on ecological assessment and social play selection conditions of a child with autism spectrum disorder in an inclusive early childhood classroom.
Educational Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities.
54(3), 288-299. Retrieved from: https://search-proquest-com(dot)tcsedsystem(dot)idm(dot)oclc(dot)org/docv iew/2298733688?pq-origsite=summon

Because social interactions are an area where children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) struggle, it is important to evaluate what this means as they enter group settings. One of the first places a child with ASD will most likely experience expectations for social interactions outside of the family is an inclusive, early childhood classroom. Many children with ASD in an inclusive early childhood classroom may not have been diagnosed yet, but educators may recognize the condition. Children diagnosed or not with ASD can miss out on important learning opportunities. It is important then to examine how interventions in social play, through ecological assessments, can positively effective.


Article #2
Majoko, T. (2019) Inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorder in mainstream early childhood development: Zimbabwean parent perspective.
Early Child Development And Care. 189(6), 909-925.
Retrieved from: https://doi-org(dot)tcsedsystem(dot)idm(dot)oclc(dot)org/10.10 80/03004430.2017.135

Zimbabwe has become a country that embraces inclusion of children with disabilities into mainstream educational institutions. This article discusses what it means to be inclusive and that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the most common disability in the world. It discusses thecharacteristics of ASD and the various settings the children might be placed in. It also discusses from the perspective of parents because the parents know the child best, concerns pertaining to the inclusion of their children into mainstream education. Though parents mostly have positive attitudes regarding mainstreaming their children with ASD, the majority were dissatisfied that teachers are deficient in their understanding of ASD.


Article #3
Siegel, E. B., Lien, S. (2014) Using photographs of contrasting contextual complexity to support classroom transitions for children with autism spectrum disorder.
Sage Journals. Retrieved from: https://doi(dot)org/10.1177/1088357614559211
There is an abundance of evidence that visual prompts help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) perform tasks and transition. This article reflects a study done that focused on two types of visual prompts, high context and no context. The study incorporated electronic technology such as iPads to determine whether when more senses were stimulated, there were any differences in transitions. The changes that were examined were transition duration and number of prompts needed. Both photo types were effective in aiding transitions, however, children were influenced more when contextual photos were used that matched their needs.


Articles Found Outside the Andrew Norman College Library
Article #4

Transitions are a part of everyone’s daily lives. For children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), any change or shift in activity can be very difficult. A child with ASD needs predictability more than a typical child. Typical children can transition smoother with verbal
ques but for children with ASD this is not enough as they may have difficulty processing or understanding. This article discusses various strategies that can be used before, during, and after transitions for children with ASD.


Article #5
Rudy, L. J. (2019) The pros and cons of sending an autistic child to public school. Very Well Health. Retrieved from: https://www(dot)verywellhealth(dot)com/public-school-and-autism-educati on-pros-and-cons-260395

This is an informational article with parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as the intended audience. Just as the title states, it gives the pros and cons of mainstreaming children with ASD in specific and thorough detail. It gives information regarding the different types of settings a parent should expect their child with ASD to be placed in. Just as all children
are unique and have different ways of learning, so is this true for children with ASD. The article sums up by emphasizing communication between all involved for successful mainstreaming of
children with ASD.

Article #6
Locke, J., Rotheram Fuller, E., Kasari, C. (2012) Exploring the social impact of being a typical peer model for included children with autism spectrum disorder. NCBI.
Retrieved from: https://www(dot)ncbinlm(dot)nih(dot)gov/pmc/articles/PMC4188858/

Mainstreaming children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is advocated by parents and professionals to give these children more opportunities for socialization. It is suggested that inclusion into mainstream education is not enough and that how typical children are impacted has not been considered. This article is written from a study, conducted at the elementary level, that examined the socialization of children with ASD by typical peer modeling and the impact it had on those peer models. It was suggested that inclusion is not enough, but that serving as a peer model for children with ASD will be too much of a burden, adding unnecessary pressure for those children.

Step #3: Now that you have an example of how to write an Annotated Bibliography make sure to write 6 different article entries for your Annotated Bibliography.
----------------------------------------------------
Annotated Bibliography Guidelines:
*Should be about 2 pages for example you can have three entries in one page and three entries in a second page.

Notes to Writer:

* Now I just need to find three more educational articles and the write an annotated bibliography for that includes all six articles. Therefore could you help me with that portion of the assignment.
Thank you for your time.
