While there are several different types of family involvement roles that you have explored, there is a common theme for all of them, in that each person in a productive relationship gains and grows (Gestwicki, 2016). Regardless of the type of involvement that families engage in, developing and maintaining effective family partnerships will have a long-lasting impact on the child. For this discussion, you will explore how effective family partnerships can positively impact children in early childhood education. To prepare for this discussion, please review Chapter 5 of the Gestwicki course text and the required article, Family Involvement in Early Childhood Education, 2006).

You will then create a five-slide PowerPoint presentation (NOT INCLUDING TITLE AND REFERENCE SLIDES) that explains the benefits of family partnerships for children. Your slides must include Speaker Notes. Use the following requirements to create your presentation:

1) Develop a title slide to introduce your presentation (1 slide).

2) Describe how the children in your current or future setting could benefit from effective family partnerships. Present the benefits from multiple perspectives, including the early childhood education professional, the family, and the child (3 slides).

3) Analyze how effective family partnerships in your current or future setting will impact children long-term. (2 slides).

4) Use at least one resource to support your writing, with proper APA citations and a reference page (1 slide).

Open the PowerPoint presentation in which you would like to record a voiceover narration. Head over to the “Slide Show” tab and, in the “Set Up” group, select “Record Slide Show.” Once selected, a drop-down menu will appear. Here, you can choose to start the narration from the beginning or from the current slide.
