As most of my colleagues most likely are, I am beginning to get nervous about my presentation. One question that I have is any suggestions on how to get more people to attend my presentation. I have several people already attending, but there are some parents that I would like to attend and I would gladly accept any advice on how to get them to attend.
I am also looking for more resources that will help me in fine tuning the literacy program that I am trying to create. In an effort to educate and involve parents more in early literacy I am designing a backpack literacy program. If anyone knows of a program like this that I can gain information from I would greatly appreciate it.
I have found the website "pinterest" to be very useful. There are many different resources that can be found on there. I was under the impression that it contained mostly crafts and recipes, but it seems to have so much more than that and I have found some sample literacy programs on there. I hope this is helpful to my other colleagues as well.
As a parents and teacher, I would just ask them if they can attend. I would explain to them that you're in your last year of school and doing a advocacy plan on how important literacy is. I would give them a bit of information of what you're trying to do and would appreciate it if they could join. I would say I'm looking for feedback and I think yours would be essential to my plan. Although you're not apart of the school it can help you build a relationship with some of the parents you may see on the days you're there.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want certain parents to attend your meeting, what you can do is to make a personal invitation to your meeting. A phone call or a hand written note, also encourage your parents to take part in your meeting, give them something to do , ask them for their help. When parents are involved in education, the child would have more opportunities to be successful. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteBarbara-Just think we are in our final week of the quarter. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. All you can do now is share your passion, be patient, and relax. We are all going through the same thing. Thank you for your honesty, passion, and well as your words of encouragement whether they were directly or indirectly. Any kind of encouragement helps! Good Luck to you in this last week. You can do it! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
