In a CS1 lesson plan, what is the purpose of parent communication?

• A. To inform and involve parents about objectives, safety, and progress.
• B. To sell equipment.
• C. To cancel lessons.
• D. To discuss personal matters.

Answer: (A)

The main concept being tested is how parent communication supports learning by keeping families informed about what will be taught, how safety is maintained, and how the student is progressing. In a CS1 lesson plan, this communication helps parents understand the learning objectives so they know what skills and knowledge the program aims to build, explains the safety practices and rules in place so they see how their child will be supported in a safe environment, and reports on progress so families can reinforce learning at home and stay engaged with their child’s development. This approach also helps obtain parental consent when needed and fosters a transparent partnership between home and program. It isn’t about selling equipment, canceling lessons, or discussing personal matters; those areas aren’t the purpose of parent communication in this context.
