Workshop #2 is where you share facts about yourself, including why you chose to be a teacher, your teaching experience, your passion, and how parental involvement can make you a more effective teacher. Identify and share things you have in common, your teaching objectives, student learning outcomes, and how you are evaluated.
Identify the steady progression of knowledge and skills your students will acquire and how this will be illustrated in the activity titled “Movin’ On Up.” Stages of human development do not travel in a straight line but as a series of successes and challenges to reveal student strength, determination, and commitment.
Included in this information should be upcoming assignments and projects students will be required to complete. This is where the role begins to shift to tasks in which parents can engage with their children. This “snapshot” of information you will share is essential as parents now have current information regarding your teaching objectives and student learning outcomes. You can elicit feedback from parents and explore tangible steps parents can take if concerns warrant parent involvement.
Parents are asked to share facts and helpful information about their children.
