It’s our legal responsibility to teach the student, so parents can know, but do not have to sign off. #kinderchat 1/2

In reply to @teachermeg

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1, Pt.2: After working in the public sector for 16 years, I am well-versed and practiced in families rights. Important to me. #kinderchat

But please note: We are talking ACADEMICS here. Not getting involved in religious issues #kinderchat 2/2

Yep! Former Head Start teacher here. Head Start is family based for sure. #kinderchat

mja_bx Oct 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Ps rights are always considered in our building and decision making process. #Kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

To add a bit of context, I am spending entire year with my staff exploring rights of families, teachers, and children. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

We spend a lot of time reflecting on these rights and if our program demonstrates our beliefs or if we are in conflict. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Prompt 2 coming up in a minute! #kinderchat

KC_SEASportsFan Oct 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Do you ever take feedback from Ps on if there's anything they'd like or not want in the classroom during walk throughs? #Kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @teachermeg

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Parents often give feedback, and sometimes it is put into practice. But usually they just ask ? or want 2 know about their child #kinderchat

In reply to @KC_SEASportsFan, @teachermeg

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: I don't recall having any formal conversations on family rights, but certain topics probably have come up out of context #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

We do to a point. I run a private preschool with a Reggio Inspired philosophy so families included in day to day. #kinderchat

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Families deserve to be a collaborative and reflective part of their child's school experience. #kinderchat

emilykop1 Oct 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

mja_bx Oct 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Families deserve no judgement when they ask questions #Kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

…teachers who are dedicated to their child #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Which is REALLY hard sometimes, right? #kinderchat #justbeinghonest

In reply to @mja_bx

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:29 PM EDT

I also think families deserve our kindness. Even if a family is stressing us out, ESPECIALLY when they are stressing us out. #kinderchat

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Families deserve...a window into their child's classroom (volunteer, pictures, newsletter, etc) #kinderchat

KC_SEASportsFan Oct 9 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Communication would be one. Lol. Everyone pretty much covered everything else! #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Keep it coming! What do families deserve from schools/programs? #kinderchat

emilykop1 Oct 9 @ 9:30 PM EDT

families deserve from schools - team effort from teachers and staff ensuring their child is getting what they deserve !! #kinderchat

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Sincere relationship building! Collaboration and reflection come from talking, relating and revising plans INB. #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Families deserve teachers that speak up for their children #kinderchat

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:31 PM EDT

YES! #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Families deserve a safe space to fall apart. To know that schools will help find resources if a family needs them. #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Families also deserve a teacher who will advocate for their child #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Prompt 3 coming up shortly. But keep the “families deserve” coming! Too often I see things that pit schools against families. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Prompt 3: What is our responsibility in ensuring the rights of families in our programs and schools? #kinderchat

KC_SEASportsFan Oct 9 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Haha! I didn't wanna copy anyone else as everyone had it covered 😂😭😂😭😂😭 #KinderChat

In reply to @moore_tamea

KC_SEASportsFan Oct 9 @ 9:34 PM EDT

If I lose you all this is why... lol. #Kinderchat

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:34 PM EDT

...Families deserve educators that...question everything - keeps child development in mind when planning - is responsive #kinderchat

mja_bx Oct 9 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Families deserve access to teachers, school psychologist/social worker,school nurse,administrators,etc. #Kinderchat

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Families deserve access to their child's school experience. A bit more easily facilitated in K typically. #kinderchat

KC_SEASportsFan Oct 9 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Love this answer!! #Kinderchat

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:34 PM EDT

...Families deserve educators that...question everything - keeps child development in mind when planning - is responsive #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:36 PM EDT

I think, at least in public school, we have a legal responsibility to teach the curriculum. That’s a non-negotiable #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

In case you missed it—Prompt 3! #kinderchat

Love the colours! #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:37 PM EDT

What about beyond that? To me, that seems like only the very basic. What about all the other rights we threw out there? #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Girl, go back and look at the wonderful list of things families deserve from the #kinderchat! They deserve so much!

In reply to @happycampergirl

happycampergirl - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Families deserve to the WHY and HOW of curriculum & pedagogy. #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Believe it or not, people sometimes forget the legal responsibility. I don’t think it’s to be downplayed, but it’s foundational #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Schools and teachers must be sure families know their rights. Direct and thoughtful conversations must be had. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Oh, I don’t mean to downplay it. I just want us to push the boundaries and think about how we can ensure all the rights. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

happycampergirl - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT

As an admin: families deserve to feel like I am their ally & resource, not "The Principal/Enforcer" #kinderchat

emilykop1 Oct 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT

we can reach out to families in need, or help to hold after school functions to help families who struggle from diff needs #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT

I know that I’m some schools the foundation isn’t always there. And that’s a problem. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

happycampergirl - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Families deserve to be greeted by name. #kinderchat

moore_tamea Oct 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT

...Its our responsibilty to ensure that the families are receiving help and understanding with whatever that might be. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Yes! I concur. As School Director I need to have parent’s trust and I need to love them (even when it’s hard). #kinderchat

happycampergirl - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT

As an admin: families deserve to feel like I am their ally & resource, not "The Principal/Enforcer" #kinderchat

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A3: Looking at the PPT and IEP process - communication is key - from first identification of learning or behavioral struggles #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT

It’s my responsibility to try to understand where my children are coming from environmentally. Like Brofenbrenner spoke of #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT

So, whose responsibility is it to advocate for families? #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Brofenbrenner: circles of influence Theory of Ecology realizing we have many things that influence who we are #kinderchat

teacher_grillo Oct 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT

It is our responsibility to meet kids and families where they are. That varies and it's all beautiful, IMHO. #kinderchat

moore_tamea Oct 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT

It's our responsibility to get to know out families in order to know what they may need and for them to feel comfortable w/ us. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Way to quote Brofenbrenner! He’s one of my favorites! #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Is advocating for the child the same as advocating for the families? #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

emilykop1 Oct 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Teachers, staff, principals- as said before it takes a team to ensure families are receiving the advocacy they deserve #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT

I just wrote a paper about his influence on my teaching beliefs. He and John Dewey are at the front of my brain, lol! #kinderchat

In reply to @teachermeg

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT

...the biggest challenge, but the most rewarding aspect of teaching - for everyone #Kinderchat

In reply to @teacher_grillo

moore_tamea Oct 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT

...then we will have that team we spoke of before. Advocating is both the program and families responsibility #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Some families also need more advocating than others. Some do fine on their own, some need more from us #kinderchat

Jumangi13 Oct 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Could be...depends on what we're advocating for #Kinderchat ???

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @teachermeg

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT

It depends. Sometimes. Not always. Sometimes a family needs resources beyond the classroom (therapy, job help). #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Is advocating for the child the same as advocating for the families? #kinderchat
In reply to @teachermeg

KC_SEASportsFan Oct 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@teachermeg I would also think that getting to know and establishing a relationship with families would better help us whenteaching their Ss

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT

I get it. I picture Malaguzzi, Brofenbrenner, Vygotsky, and Paley sitting in my educator brain guiding my way. I am a nerd. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Socio-economics, education, language, can all play a big factor in who needs more advocacy. #kinderchat

teachermeg Oct 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Yep. Children don’t come to us in an isolated bubble. It’s all about th context! #kinderchat

In reply to @KC_SEASportsFan

CarrieMarshall1 Oct 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT

I think next week we are being led by @CarrieMarshall1. Is that right? #kinderchat
