Using Effective Communication to Bring Families into the Learning Process
The pandemic has lifted up the importance of bringing families into the learning process. It’s not just nice, it’s absolutely necessary. But before we can engage families, we need to communicate with them in ways that are effective and ways that build relationships. Sometimes the language we use to explain school practices and goals to families is complicated and full of educational jargon and acronyms. Families can find the words and authoritative tone we use off-putting, confusing, and alienating. And, they can feel overwhelmed with the amount of information we provide. This can cause them to tune us out and disengage. This interactive workshop will help you improve your home/school communications and provide you with practical tips, tools and techniques you can use immediately to improve your communication practices and build meaningful relationships with families.
