Answer 2

c. Instruction on guidelines: The teacher provides families with instruction on school guidelines, policies, and terminology.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four step plan presented by Matuszny and colleagues (2007) are: initiation, building the foundation, maintenance and support, and wrap-up and reflection. The 'instruction and guidelines' step presented here was not presented by Matuszny and colleagues (2007). In fact, the point that teacher should provide families with instruction on school guidelines, policies, and terminology is actually a part of the 'maintenance and support' step. Therefore, option c is the answer.
