She wanted to know how they might be used to help student learners set goals, or how the role maps might help instructors plan for and deliver instruction. When we were conducting the research, which led to the Role Maps, we conducted focus groups. Many of you participated. As a member of the Parent/Family Member Team, I learned that the number one issue for parents was (and I suspect still is) the safety of their children. That concern is reflected on the Parent/Family Member Role Map in the Broad Area of Responsibility-Meet Family Needs and Responsibilities, specifically in the Key Activity-Provide for safety and physical needs. So, with that in mind, I am cross-posting an article from the Family Literacy Listserv that focuses on this issue-child safety. It seems to me that the Standard-Read with Understanding and all of its Components of Performance can be applied, while focusing on this very important matter of child safety. ACYF-IM-HS-03-02 http://www.headstartinfo.org/publications/im03/im03_02.htm U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration on Children, Youth and Families announces a new resource: Personal Safety for Children: A Guide for Parents. The publication, which is attached to the IM, is intended to help parents take specific steps to improve the safety of their children. Personal Safety for Children: A Guide for Parents is a collaborative effort of child safety experts from the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, the FBI, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. If you use this article, please let us know what reading strategies worked best for you. Thank you. Meta Potts FOCUS on Literacy 4EFF List Moderator/Facilitator
