A Toolbox for Parents and Faculty. Ohio Higher Education Partnership Project.
Espe-Sherwindt, Marilyn; Norwood, Cindy; Jackson, Jenny
This curriculum was developed by the Ohio Higher Education Partnership Project (OHEPP) as a training tool to promote greater levels of participation in personnel preparation by parents of children with disabilities. OHEPP has the following three objectives: (1) develop and support parent-faculty "teams" throughout the state; (2) provide financial support for parent involvement; and (3) develop a strategic plan for ongoing financial support for parent participation in higher education in Ohio. The curriculum was presented in training sessions that addressed the knowledge and skills needed by parents and faculty to work collaboratively in preservice and inservice personnel preparation. It was presented annually for 3 years and over the 3 years, both context and content of the curriculum were examined and modified to ensure that the training sessions were responsive to both parents and faculty. The activities that proved most useful were those that afforded participants the opportunity to explore role clarification, communication and misconceptions. The curriculum includes sample evaluation forms and parent reimbursement forms. (SG)
