- Four Ways Teachers can Help Share their Voice!
- After reading the textbook chapter and watching the presentation, Gina's story brought so much awareness into my life. It was a beautiful story of strength and resilience. Gina's story showed me how important the voice of the parents truly is. Gina's mom aka Professor Mirabella advocated for her daughter throughout many moments of her life. One moment that stood out to me was when Gina enrolled into a school and her mom liked the techniques of a specific teacher. The administration claimed that Gina would not work well in a high functioning classroom like the one her wanted for her. However, Gina proved them wrong and flourished.
- Photos/VideosVisual content is a great way for a parents to share their voice. It is important for teachers to encourage parents to share photos and video as teachers can see a student's progress at home. Photos and videos can be very emotional for parents. Thus, it is important for teachers to use the information to further provide assistance to their students. Moreover, teachers can also remind parents how far their child has come and remind them of their growth.
- "Getting to Know Your Child Letter To Teacher"A "Getting to Know Your Child" letter is a form to the teacher is another way teachers can help parents share their voice. These letters can include a bundle of questions in regards to their child. Parents know their child better than anyone else. The questions can address the child's likes and dislikes, strengths and struggles, interests, and other information the teachers may need to know.
- Monthly Meetings/PTAHaving monthly meetings is another way for parents to share their voice. Teachers can facilitate the meetings and have higher ups at the meetings. Teachers can invite parents to discuss improvements or changes they would like to see in the school environment. This is a way parents can advocate for their children. Examples include furniture and services. Teachers can collect data and use the information and implement it in the lesson plans and provide differentiation.
- EmailEmail is another great way for teachers can help parents share their voice. Email is an open line of communication between parents and teachers. This is a way to form a relationship with the family. An ope line of communication will greatly benefit the students and their progress. Parents can keep the teacher updated on any concerns they may have. Parents can also ask any questions about their child's progress.
