Workshop #1
Your ultimate purpose is to build a community with the strength of its foundation being parent involvement. Therefore, as parents buy-in and offer their consent, you should gather information as this will be an essential source with which you will build a school community. Also, demographic information and the types of contact with parents—face-to-face, telephone, email, and/or text messaging—should be collected.
The emphasis is on “breaking the ice” and reshaping the parent-teacher relationship through current academic information and behavioral observations about their children and activities to engage the parents. At the end of the first workshop, the parents should walk away with two experiences: a current snapshot of the teachers’ impressions of their children balanced with an engaging and fun activity to reduce barriers. This will replace biannual parent-teacher conferences.
