Our school had been very fortunate to secure Anne from CORE Eduaction and CLA as facilitator for our PD this year. One focus was on parent engagement... This has been something that I have been talking about in one of my past Inquiries... How can we get parents ENGAGED in their child's learning? Many people think that attending sports events means that parents are engaged, however; parents are here only 'involved' in what is happening at a school... therefore the importance of getting them engaged... in students' learning, especially class and individual student blogs as an ePortfolio is crucial.
A good starting point for us as a staff was to look at the elements of a positive learning environment for us individually. This also help us to understand each other a bit better (I think)...
Anne lead a session with parents around the eLearning Planning Framework. Feedback from parents and teachers both were very valuable...
As teachers, we also brainstormed our ideas...
Closer to the end of our PD, we went back to a Padlet we started at the beginning of the year and revisited our ideas...
So where to next for us at this stage?
Exciting times ahead...
