After our first class, I am interested to hear about parent-teacher relationships and how to talk with parent's about conflicts and problems at school. During our introduction activity, many of us commented on how parent-teacher relations will be a great challenge during the first year of teaching.
We also listed many adjectives about what makes someone a professional in their field, and it was interesting the different adjectives people came up with. For me, it is interesting to be in a 400 level class where we all (for the most part) are preparing for teaching careers and working towards a common goal.
I want to understand better how to be an effective teacher. I am really interesting in the relationships side of teaching, and I am interested to talk about how different students learn and even how the student's parents learn and communicate with educators.
I think this class will help me in my future career to understand how to teach better to all different types of learners and students. I am hoping that this class will prepare me better to work with a wide range of different people: professionals, students, and parents.
I got Tiffany, the former school-family partnership coordinator, scheduled for September 19th! I like how you're interested in how student parents learn and communicate. We serve two populations, my principal always used to say (students and parents).
