ACTIVITY 1-A3

As a new teacher, it is likely that you will be assigned to a school where students
have varied social, political, economic and cultural conditions. Some of these students are
likely to come from poor communities.

What adjustments can you make in your school and in your class so that the students and
parents from these poor communities can participate more actively in school activities?

 You can’t force a parent to be involved in their child’s education, but you
can encourage and facilitate it. Parents are more likely to be involved if
you make it easy for them. Twice-a-year parent-teacher conferences
aren’t enough anymore. In a world of dual-income households, single-
parent households, and unconventional work hours, you should
 provide multiple opportunities for them to fit engagement and interaction
into their schedules.
The good news is that the digital age offers a wide variety of tools to
allow parents to connect with your school and teachers. Here are
some innovative ways to fuel parental involvement:
1. Online advice videos.
Parents and teachers can share ideas via web videos on your school’s
website. Teachers can provide guidance on how parents can help with
certain assignments and parents can provide feedback on areas where
their child may need extra help.
2. A dedicated blog and online calendar.
One of the biggest objections to parental involvement is that parents are
so busy that they just don’t know when events are happening. A
dedicated parent blog, accompanied by social media presence and an
event calendar, can keep them in the loop.
3. Use social media at your school to connect to parents.
The number of parents using social media is increasing at an alarming
rate. Examine your school’s social media policy and begin planning to
communicate on an ongoing basis using popular channels like
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Google Plus. Social
media provides excellent ways to connect parents to your school’s
website and begin engaging them.
4. Home visits and parent/teacher conferences.
 Just because we live in a digital world doesn’t mean that face-to-face
interaction is dead. On the contrary, nothing can replace an in-person
visit.
5. Family nights.
Hosting an Open House event in which a student’s entire family can visit
the school and classroom in an informal and laid back setting builds the
parent-teacher relationship. It also eliminates the pressure and
expectations of a formal sit-down meeting. Allowing students to bring
siblings and parents to their classroom ensures a greater sense of
confidence within the student and gives parents to see the day-to-day
operation of their child’s education.
6. Volunteer Opportunities.
Special volunteer opportunities give parents the chance to transition
from spectator to active participant in the school and their child’s
education. It can also give them a greater understanding of what their
child does on a daily basis and what challenges he or she may face.
One of the best ways to coordinate these activities is through the school
website. Certainly, the dedicated blog, event calendar, and advice
videos can take place online. However, the website can also help in
other areas. An online volunteer sign-up form can make volunteering
easy and convenient. Videos of past family nights may encourage more
parents to attend. Skype, Google Hangout, and other online video
conferencing services can facilitate online meetings when a face-to-face
one isn’t possible.
