Building Community Min-Series Part 3: Parents and Families
Description
This episode is part three of my mini-series about building community within a school. This series is for educators and families from a variety of backgrounds. Though my specific field is Montessori education in a small, private school, I truly feel that anyone who works with children in the field of education can benefit from this series.
This episode is specifically focused on building community among families within a school. I will share with you the reasons why it is so vital to make an effort to build community and some of the ways that I have learned how to build community within my school.
Over my years in the classroom and as the administrator of my school I have witnessed time and time again the benefits of pushing past insecurities, fatigue, doubt, defensiveness and divisiveness to build positive relationships with the parents and families of the children in my care. I have never regretted making the effort and building a bridge between myself, the students, our classroom and their parents or guardians.
I hope that you tune in because I am confident you’ll find some useful information and also be reminded that none of us are alone in our effort to improve the lives of children.
