Teacher PRO TIP: Build the following team BETWEEN semesters ( hint: its summer break NOW): Parent/Guardian, student, admin. E-mail your team of co-operative collaborators in learning your overview for the students you know you will have next fall. Invite conversation, questions, and concerns. Remember, engaged parents and guardians have PRICELESS information about their primary and kinder progeny. Give them a summer remote assignment to tell you the name, address, and contact info for their local library. Encourage students to form peer-lead library-based fun reading and study groups. Let everyone contribute to the class newsletter. Make publishing a rotating learning community task. If any parent is having to go to school board meetings to do anything but hold those PUBLIC SERVANTS accountable, your team is likely(?) NOT communicating continously/ consistently about learning.
