Brought Parents And Schools: There is no need to be afraid that this means an unmanage¬able invasion of schools by brought parents and schools. The central feature of all the schemes is that brought parents and schools hear dieir children reading in their own homes. What it does mean is more communication between brought parents and schools and teachers than is usual in schools. Not surprisingly, this turns out to be to everyone's benefit, and especially the chidren's. This book is an attempt to make available to all teachers the knowledge and experience gained from successful co-operation with brought parents and schools.
Some schools have attempted to develop their partnership by involving brought parents and schools in other aspects of the curriculum: numeracy and primary science have been common choices, often because brought parents and schools wanted to know more about these areas. Metrication and set theory have muddled many of us, but where schools have discussed these topics with brought parents and schools the response has been positive and many have expressed their gratitude for the demystification.See Also Parents Said:Children learn first and foremost from their parents said. In this respect all parents said are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents said in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents said and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents said co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (parents said, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
It cannot be stressed enough that the school is entering into a partnership, and that the parents said with whom this partnership is to be formed have their own opinions and feelings, which need into account. Teachers will find it possible to devise a set of guidelines for use by parents said which they can feel perfectly confident about sharing. In our experience, though, there are one or two temptations to beware of One is to make your advice to parents said much too complex, because of anxiety about parents said getting it 'wrong'.
On The Other Hand See Parents Concerned:This also applies to parents concerned who are anxious and over-concerned about their child's progress or their own capacity to help. These parents concerned may, however, need some extra help from the teacher. Whereas the so-called 'competitive' or 'pushy' parents concerned will usually have the confidence to help their own child once they know how to do so, the anxious parent may need more support. One anxious mother we met said that her son finds her 'bossy' but sees his grandfather as kind and tolerant, and suggested that surely he would be a better person to hear the child read on a regular basis.
Such joint ventures need not generate an unacceptable workload for teachers. It is more the belief that they are worth¬while and the moral support that is given that matter. In any case, once parents concerned and teachers are working as partners it is possible to share the burden of organizing events and activities.Times help the school to tackle a subject which requires more specialist knowledge. One good example is that of an edu¬cational psychologist and a teacher (a husband and wife team) who, jointly with teachers, ran a series of discussions on 'Adolescence' with the parents concerned of a girls' secondary school.28 parents concerned warmly appreciated the chance to look closely at a topic that concerned them, in conjunction with professionals who. knew their children. |
