  create a poster to summarize corporate involvement in child care and to evaluate your poster. Assignment not complete without the self evaluation

Scenario:
As a third-year  teacher, you have become increasingly involved in community events, such  as volunteering in a soup kitchen. Recently, a member of the Chamber of  Commerce, Mr. Rodriguez, invited you to give a talk to local business  leaders about the benefits for everyone when businesses create a culture  that helps families work and care well for their children. During your  talk, you decide to present a poster that outlines the benefits of  family-friendly policies for businesses. Mr. Rodriguez mentions that  some of the business owners in town are particularly concerned about  parents who lose time at work when their children are home sick. He asks  you for your ideas on how businesses can respond in a proactive way to  families who need child care assistance. Losing parents as workers  because they feel they must choose between their child and their  employer is another issue, according to Mr. Rodriguez.

Focus Assignment

1.  Create a poster, either by hand and then scanned in or by using digital  tools. On your poster, highlight three to four key benefits for  businesses when they adopt family-friendly policy policies for their  employees. Next, list three to four policies businesses can adopt to  help parents reduce stress and continue to be productive when their  children need to miss school due to illness. Last, list one to two big  ideas that would help relieve parental anxieties about feeling the need  to choose between their child and their livelihood.

2. Be sure to  read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write  your self-evaluation after you have completed your poster.
