  • ChristineYH Mar 12 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    Yes... Parents are advocates. They are part of the teaching and learning equation. Parents can also inform policy. Absolutely. #bcedchat

    In reply to @Whoisasking
  • sjsoltau Mar 12 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    A2 parents who see themselves as advocates are powerful allies in supporting public education. #bcedchat
  • sjsoltau Mar 12 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    A2 think that is so ironic that because I am a teacher I have never been able to help/visit my own chid's classroom. #bcedchat
  • nathan_stevens Mar 12 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    A2 parents can help tell the classroom story. Share the experience of student learning #bcedchat
    In reply to @bcedchat

    Like this. Extend curiosity #bcedchat
    In reply to @Whoisasking
  • ChristineYH Mar 12 @ 10:24 PM EDT
    A3. Communicating student learning (CSL) will act as an excellent vehicle for me (as parent) to support my child w/ her learning. #bcedchat
  • Whoisasking Mar 12 @ 10:24 PM EDT
    This is why we have to be so careful to find ways to involve parents that aren't in the classroom. Not all can come. #bcedchat

    A3 also appreciate it when families feel they can talk to schools about questions/concerns rather than just wonder #bcedchat
  • Dunnie98 Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A4 Ask Ss to share their thinking with parents - seek their understanding on topics and share back with class #bcedchat

    A4. Invite parents in. Parents want to help and get involved to support student learning (more than fundraising). Become a team. #bcedchat
  • JanetChowMSc Mar 12 @ 10:32 PM EDT
    Multiple spaces allow windows of opportunities to cmns. Eportfolios can offer multi languages to include #bcedchat

  • ChristineYH Mar 12 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A5. I love the idea of members of community/parents as part of the learning process as a panel/mentor. That would be super fun. #bcedchat
  • Whoisasking Mar 12 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A5 Keeping parents informed. Giving them the chance to help when and how they can. Open doors without forcing them in. #bcedchat

  • ChristineYH Mar 12 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    A6. Communication is a barrier. Perceived culture and cliques. What's acceptable or allowed? #bcedchat
  • KarenCopeland3 Mar 12 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A6: what helped was having a principal who looked beyond the surface to understand why, coming alongside, believing in me #bcedchat
  • Dunnie98 Mar 12 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A6 privacy of Ss can at times be compromised. Also, walking the balance of Ps support vs Ts, other staff support. 1/2 #bcedchat
    In reply to @bcedchat
  • Whoisasking Mar 12 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A6 Finding ways to connect with Parents where they are at... not imposing my ideas of what the partnership should look like. #bcedchat
