nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:08 PM EDT

Q1: Why is community engagement important for schools? #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:12 PM EDT

There are so many creative & innovative ways schools & Ts engage the community.. I have lots to learn in this dept!! #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Mar 22 @ 7:19 PM EDT

clawsonses Mar 22 @ 7:24 PM EDT

Hi, I'm Crystal from VA. I've been lurking. First time on this chat. #reflectiveteacher #pcps_teach

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:24 PM EDT

@deem_ellen @ChrisAFRIN yes - please answer!! #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Mar 22 @ 7:24 PM EDT

@nironside13 Definitely. And I know the community members like to be "guests" of the school, too. :) #reflectiveteacher

deem_ellen Mar 22 @ 7:25 PM EDT

@ChrisAFRIN @nironside13 So sorry. How could I not know it was England...long day of first graders with spring fever:) #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Mar 22 @ 7:25 PM EDT

A3: Time is a big one. I know lots of Ts that would want to engage more, but run out of time. #reflectiveteacher https://t.co/M4gqNV3Tb6

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:23 PM EDT

Q3: What are some barriers to effective community involvement and engagement? #reflectiveteacher

deem_ellen Mar 22 @ 7:26 PM EDT

A3) Parents working long hours makes it hard for them to volunteer. #reflectiveteacher

ChrisAFRIN Mar 22 @ 7:26 PM EDT

@nironside13 @deem_ellen Nottingham England - sorry. #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Mar 22 @ 7:26 PM EDT

@clawsonses Hi Crystal. Welcome! #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:27 PM EDT

A3: I think time is always an issue - and planning. Successful community engagement requires both #reflectiveteacher

clawsonses Mar 22 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@mmorriswrite Totally agree! #reflectiveteacher #pcps_teach

ChrisAFRIN Mar 22 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@nironside13 welcome @clawsonses #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@deem_ellen yes!! and hard for them to show up, sometimes.. A challenge! #reflectiveteacher

ChrisAFRIN Mar 22 @ 7:29 PM EDT

A3 @nironside13 time as always for a teacher to be able to engage with community groups / charities etc… and teach! #reflectiveteacher

deem_ellen Mar 22 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@nironside13 @CHATtotheFuture We are Skyping with the children in Uganda tomorrow. Looking forward to it:) #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:30 PM EDT

A3: Ideas can be a challenge, too. Schools need to look for innovative ways to engage & that can be hard sometimes #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@ChrisAFRIN yes - that is why a planning TEAM is important, so the work & ideas are shared.. #reflectiveteacher

ChrisAFRIN Mar 22 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A2 @nironside13 in the last 2 weeks Ss have engaged in health promotions in the local community & schools #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:34 PM EDT

Q4: How can community engagement support 21st Century Learning? #reflectiveteacher

ChrisAFRIN Mar 22 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A3 @nironside13 agree @deem_ellen for me I teach 19+ year olds & try to get them to volunteer in community projects #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:36 PM EDT

@deem_ellen great that you can involve the student council! What are NUTS days?? #reflectiveteacher

deem_ellen Mar 22 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A4) I'm reading a book right now that could answer that. Walk in Their Shoes by @JimZbuildon. #reflectiveteacher

clawsonses Mar 22 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@ChrisAFRIN TEACH? What is that? I feel like I spend my time doing other required items that take time away from my Ss :(#reflectiveteacher

deem_ellen Mar 22 @ 7:37 PM EDT

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@clawsonses @ChrisAFRIN sniff - so hard sometime to manage all the demands placed on teachers - from all over the place! #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:43 PM EDT

deem_ellen Mar 22 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@ChrisAFRIN @nironside13 I don't think I could have done it then:) #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Mar 22 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@deem_ellen @DebbyCall6 @stacymcmullen true - community is a much broader idea than it used to be! #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Mar 22 @ 7:55 PM EDT

Thanks for a great chat tonight, #reflectiveteacher friends. Love this part of my Tuesday evenings. See you next week! :)

clawsonses Mar 22 @ 7:56 PM EDT

Thanks for allowing me to join in tonight and sharing your ideas. #reflectiveteacher #pcps_teach

ChrisAFRIN Mar 22 @ 7:56 PM EDT
