mssackstein - Moderator Jul 30 @ 8:36 AM EDT

In reply to @JeremyDBond

PMcPeake1 Jul 30 @ 8:36 AM EDT

A1 That families don't want or need to be engaged esp in MS and HS and engagement is any way you contribute. #HackLearning

hackmylearning - Moderator Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1: Family engagement is much more than fundraisers and chaperoning field trips.Honor parents in their role as co-educators. #HackLearning

Jim_dEntremont Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1: Sometimes Ts forget that the parents are probably doing the best they can or know how #HackLearning

Edu_Thompson Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1. Misperception: If they don't show up for conferences it is because they don't care about the students education. #HackLearning

MattPorricelli Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1: Dangerous misconceptions include mistaking not being present/immediately responsive to lack of caring #HackLearning

TonySinanis Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1- In some schools, family engagement is on the school's terms & families are only called on for things like the bake sale! #HackLearning

mssackstein - Moderator Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

We need to redefine what engagement looks like and allow families to meet us on their terms not ours #hackLearning

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1 that every parent wants to be engaged ... harsh reality but sometimes parents don't want to be bothered #HackLearning

Stella_Pollard Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1: that families that do not help their kids w/ their hw are bad. Sometimes they're working 3 jobs to make ends meet. #HackLearning

JeremyDBond Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

Yes! #HackLearning

conniehamilton - Moderator Jul 30 @ 8:35 AM EDT

A1: "Partnering" with families doesn't mean parents use their precious time with children to argue about homework. #HackLearning

jonathan_bisson Jul 30 @ 8:37 AM EDT

A1) That posting work/messages in a LMS automatically means parents will see them & that you are communicating/partnering. #HackLearning

ToshMcGaughy Jul 30 @ 8:38 AM EDT

#HackLearning Tosh from Texas, Hi!

whiteeducator Jul 30 @ 8:38 AM EDT

A1:We assume all fams have had great experiences w. schools & are happy to connect. Must meet ppl where they are & gain trust. #hacklearning

A1. Family may be hiding - literacy issue, severe LD - on run from law, child services - shame, mistrust, conflict re engaging #HackLearning

Edu_Thompson Jul 30 @ 8:38 AM EDT

Yes and that maybe they couldn't come to the event/conference etc bc they were working third shift or a second job or both! #HackLearning

In reply to @JeremyDBond

Stella_Pollard Jul 30 @ 8:38 AM EDT

A1b: engagement is having the Ss faces light up because they're naturally interested in what's going on. Tap their interests. #HackLearning

ToshMcGaughy Jul 30 @ 8:39 AM EDT

#HackLearning A1: If they can't show up physically at parent night, then they don't want to be involved. So not true!

mydesk_not Jul 30 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1:There's an assumption that Ps don't care especially at the MS/HS level nor want to be involved or support Ss learning at 🏠#HackLearning

TonySinanis Jul 30 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1- Some districts are built like fortresses so what happens in school is the school's business & doesn't involve families! #HackLearning

Hey guys, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Stella, a 7th Grade Science T from Franklin County, KY #HackLearning

That's interesting. I wasn't aware of that (mis)perception. #HackLearning

AngelaDolezal98 Jul 30 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1) Misconceptions: Involvement means being at the school or at PTO meetings as well as ensuring all homework is complete. #HackLearning

HeidiHutchison Jul 30 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1: Sometimes families that we see, we assume are engaged. I wonder what diff levels of engagement would look like. #HackLearning

I used to write families/guardians b/c I had so many kids in group homes where the social worker was the "parent" #HackLearning

MsJWhiting Jul 30 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1 misperception: engagement is only 4 non-working P's during the day; reality: engagement doesn't always happen in the school #HackLearning

CJCain7 Jul 30 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1 #hackLearning We need to understand the difference between family involvement and family engagement. Vastly different entities.

In reply to @hackmylearning

JoanneDuford Jul 30 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1: Ps not volunteering/attending conferences don't care. Those Ps in the classroom & are involved are the "good" parents. #hacklearning

A1: We assume that parents are NOT doing their best when in most cases, they are! #HackLearning

SylviaEllison Jul 30 @ 8:40 AM EDT

While this can be true, I would rather err on the side of interested & can't b/c they have the swing shift or night work #HackLearning

In reply to @DennisDill

jonathan_bisson Jul 30 @ 8:40 AM EDT

Exactly! Or even what to ask. @RothsteinDan & @LuzSantana20 discuss that very point in their #MakeJustOneChange book. #HackLearning

True! And the 2-way comm drops off as a result. This is time when there should be more outreach. #Hacklearning

applePulp Jul 30 @ 8:42 AM EDT

A1. I see parent engagement as school-level trust/participation in rel'n to the well-adjusted achievement of one's child(ren). #HackLearning

JeremyDBond Jul 30 @ 8:42 AM EDT

Family engagement belongs at ALL levels. #HackLearning

PMcPeake1 Jul 30 @ 8:36 AM EDT

A1 That families don't want or need to be engaged esp in MS and HS and engagement is any way you contribute. #HackLearning
