Editor's Notes
This is the slide that will be up when they are coming in. As soon as the session starts, I move on from this slide. I will not reread this slide.
I will start with some ways to look at parent participation. It’s a core principle but other reasons emphasized in the next slide.
If we had to oversimplify the formula for parent participation, we’d say…
I would set up the fact that Chavez had a relationship and the million-dollar idea developed was to have dinners, but the description and benefits of the dinners are described later. The usual communication, we will all admit we usually rely on flyers, and telling the students.
The Tale of Five Souls isn’t a book, it’s our story. I’ll give my story from my first meeting at the Chamber when Nathan posed the possibility that this won’t work because Parents are not showing that they care. Our solution was to call the parents to both survey and inform. In other words, we didn’t ensure our parents had a buy-in before we started to do our dinners.
Depending on the group, this might be a place where I facilitate some of the frustrations to then segway into the next concept of ATTAIN, CHANGE, MAINTAIN.
Each school will fall into one category at all times. This is the best way to say, never get comfortable and be ready to assess your relationship with your families. We can touch on our situation: We are looking to use our students who participate in Genesys to call parents this year of incoming freshman to invite them and inform them about the Academy. This is, how we also engage youth in their communityl.
