Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

[Julia @julia_r28]

@OliviaBisko please

[Anna Sauer @annasauer415]

Okay so, it was actually a wild year...but here’s a video of me (and a few special guests) yawning anyway...just to occupy your quarantined minds

[Olivia @OliviaBisko]

SNC is giving us one week to essentially decide if we’d like to stay abroad or come home and graduate on time. Maybe it’s just me, but I think the last thing students abroad during a pandemic should have to worry about is their home institution not counting any of their classes

Guys guess who my @Spotify artist of the decade is....

Hint: it’s me @PostMalone

@iskarob A7: it supports our students learning in SO many ways!! Involve them by inviting them in, communicating with them, and supporting them too when they have questions!! #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@abigailcurran1 A6: one way I think you can build a partnership with parents is by keeping communication open and available! #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@KateTichacek @abigailcurran1 very well said!! This is important to keep in mind to help make our partnership with parents even stronger.

[Julia @julia_r28]

@Miss_May2020 @abigailcurran1 love this!!

[Julia @julia_r28]

@abigailcurran1 A5: commit to consistency! We’ve talked a lot about how consistency is important in our class, & I think it’s important for parent-teacher communication too! We share the responsibility of being dependable on one another, teacher-parent. #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@ElisabethKlump1 @iskarob thanks for the extra resource!! This is super helpful!

[Julia @julia_r28]

@SarahM56781854 @iskarob yes!!!! LOVE this!! Our students are going to make such an impact on the world and it’s important to give them the skills to set them up for success!!

[Julia @julia_r28]

@iskarob A4: develop self-confidence & motivation in the classroom!! These ideas are also important in the lives of students outside of the classroom! #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@GonneringMegan @iskarob yes Megan!! I love how you said its a way to balance the relationship! your example really shows how this kind of relationship can really benefit students!!

[Julia @julia_r28]

@KateTichacek @iskarob yes!! It includes being engaged in both the school and the home!! #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@iskarob A3: the most important part of parent engagement to me is the idea of sharing responsibility! They are involved in what their children are doing in their classrooms and want to help their children build and grow in all ways they can! #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@NehmeySam @annasauer415 yes yes!! Newsletters are a great idea

[Julia @julia_r28]

@annasauer415 A2: surprise a parent! Give the parents a call to celebrate the good things going on with their child. They'll feel excited, involved, and it helps to build a positive relationship (bonus!!) #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@oliviamthomson @LeschAbby @annasauer415 I agree! There is a huge connection between home life and school life! #educ330 #therents

[Julia @julia_r28]

@annasauer415 A1: everyone! Students do better in your classroom when they are supported by their parents, who are more likely to be involved in their learning with increased communications between school-parent! #EDUC330 #therents
