A2: Find their source of communication, positive phone calls are the best #ksedchat

perezhasclass May 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2: Don't judge them before you even meet them! Get to know EACH family. Poverty doesn't equal no support or comfort at school. #ksedchat

azurehenwood May 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A1: Build relationships, show students you genuinely care for them and help them to understand their own emotions. #ksedchat

JennyStoops May 8 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2-A3. Build the relationships & trust- be available in person, phone calls, email, we are a team together students r successful! #ksedchat

mrvesco - Moderator May 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2: @aboone_angie is correct! School jargon can be very confusing. #ksedchat

aboone_angie May 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2: treat with respect, offer authentic help, and keep school jargon to a minimum #ksedchat

perezhasclass May 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2: If comfort at school is an issue start w/home visits, conferences at McDonald's, the library, or other public location. #ksedchat

MrsWarren_RM121 May 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

JennyStoops May 8 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A2b: We need to use multiple means of communication & make sure we respect what they bring to the table. #ksedchat

azurehenwood May 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Sending positive communication home so they can feel pride for their child's accomplishments. #ksedchat

shannon_vieyra May 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A1: Genuine interest into who they are! Ask questions! Build rapport and be PATIENT as they learn to trust you. #ksedchat

A2: Mist powerful comment I've heard: PARENTS ARE SENDING US THE BEST KUDS THEY'VE GOT! #ksedchat
