Developing Relationships

Can you please assist me with the following:
1. Describe the kind of innovative engagement you would pursue with different groups in the community.
2. While you are not making a formal plan at this stage, what are some of the most effective strategies to get parents and the community to participate?
3. Indicate why cultural competency is such a big issue; making explicit connections to the required readings and from your own personal authentic experience.
4. What personal, technological and leadership skills would you use to reach out to those parents whose students are the most in need?
