3.7 Engage parents/ carers in the educative process
Proficient: Plan for appropriate and contextually relevant opportunities for parents/ carers to be involved in their children’s learning.
I encourage parental involvement in the classroom wherever possible. Unfortunately, not all parents/caregivers are able to come into the classroom on a frequent basis so I have established and maintain a classroom website and blog which everyone can access. I regularly update our news and our curriculum-based learning, aswell as uploading photos which are taken on a daily basis. Feedback from parents has been extremely positive and it's always exciting for the class to receive a blog comment from outside of school! The link to our website is here.
I also currently have a parent who reads with some of the students every morning, focusing on those who are still on 'levelled readers'. This has been invaluable to me as mornings are always busy with other parents and student news and questions, meaning I am not always able to hear each student read every week.
