In my school there is not much in the habit of including parents in the activities we develop. They are limited mainly to participate (and few) in activities more "bureaucratic" of school life. Usually they only get involved if they are called to a very specific activity (e.g. a special day's celebration) and in the first levels of teaching: as children grow up, they lose the habit of being involved and participating in school activities. Exceptions to this rule are very rare ...

There is currently very little in place. But many ideas are being trialled. Parents can volunteer at various points in the year to share their expertise of what they do in work.

Most of the time, in my school, we call parents only in formal and burocratic moments.

In twelve years of experience in the organization of school exchanges, parents are invited to participate in the preparation meetings of the students' exchange activities during the exchange week.
In these meetings, where the theme of the project and the work to be done by the students are presented, parents not only analyze and debate the proposed activities but also suggest other ones, participating in them directly. This partnership between the parents, the school and the teacher brings positive impacts not only to the life and training of the student, but also vivifies the school.

My school does'nt have any particular activity planned for parents, except the electonic register. This is thought to garantee an immediate communication between school and parents. Parents can control children's absences, marks and general situation. As in every Italian school parents are part of scholastic organization at many levels (School Council, Class Council, etc.). In addition to this every week as teachers  we are asked to stay at school for one hour to wait parents for meeting them and twice a year we spend an afternoon for a general meeting. Above all I try to show kindness and being accomodating: in fact some times parents see the school as an enemy and not as an ally to help their children to reach educative goals.

In my school, that is a secondary school of second level, there exist the following opportunities for Parent Involment:

At our school, parents are free to enter and speak to their child's teachers, except when they are in class. Similarly, they can go to the management to expose problems, request information or other initiatives. The class directors and class teachers are seeking to record a summary of the issues addressed in the parent meetings. Every year we organize a flavors fair, addressed to parents and the surrounding community, and the "Fathers Day", students' activity for parents, under the guidance of teachers. On the other hand, the parents are represented in the class councils, in the process of internal and external evaluation of the school and in the general council.

One of the parents' contributions was in a project: traveling book. It consisted in putting a picture of the child as a child and describing their personal characteristics, preferences, etc. This book went through all the families.
Another project: Adopt me. It was a study visit to a tree nursery to collect trees. Each family helped their son to plant and care for the tree.
Another project: The professions. Every parent was invited to come to school to talk about their profession / job. Later the group went to visit some work places of the same.

I have always tried to be honest with my parents and to report on the planned didactic educational path. I've been trying and trying to get involved in school life by sending whats apps and emails and inviting them to view internet sites I've adopted. However, it is very difficult to establish good relationships, there is always one or two parents who put the school to the last place

In my school parents only participate in some activities organized by the school, such as parties, poetry show or small sports activities. I am not aware of any parental involvement in the pedagogical part or in the classroom. But I'm curious to hear other opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
At my school parents can participate in some activities, working together with their children, in common tasks to fulfill a goal, for instance: build a science project; build a character for arts, and so on. At the end of the year we have a fair where the best projects of each grade are presented to the community and parents can see  them and also, as an audience, they can watch their children performances as singers / dancers...  Unfortunately we don't have any register about parents interests or skills; just the common register about their work; studies and some information about each children's home routine. Probably if we knew parents better, we could develop other forms of work.
About the video we saw, I don't agree with that sort of contract signed at home. In my opinion, I agree with contracts between parents / children / school for particular situations. I don't agree that the teacher should visit their students' house. As far  as I'm concerned, there must be a limit; a line between school life and family life. Children's way of living must be private and the school mustn't replace the family nor be responsible for everything that happens in each home. Families must be watched by professionals, other than teachers and only if the families and the students suffer from any particular situation or are at risk.

At my school, where most parents work in shifts, it's hard to get them involved in the activities, but as I mentioned earlier, when we ask them to help their children with work, it usually goes well and we notice that they care.

At the beginning of the year, at the first presentation meeting, I give a small questionnaire on family habits and I always try to arrange meetings that meet the parents' availability.At the end of the year we hold an annual school fair. All classes present their work. Parents are usually satisfied and it's a great time to share.

Great video and inspiring presentation!! Of course, if a Greek teacher paid a home visit to a pupil, that would seem like a giraffe entering their living room, still these ideas are a strong motive to try and find innovative ways to actively involve parents in our classes. They are surely already engaged in seasonal fairs and bazaars, in various workshops and book exhibits and sometimes in displays of their children's projects, but I think we could work more on getting to know the parents more (their skills, talents, traits, backgrounds), anything that could help us bridge the gap in our communication to the benefit of every single kid.

True, at the base it is important to know the parents and establish a good relationship of trust with them. This has happened with the parents of my former schoolchild, which I have called several times a "five year of grace" because a very nice group was created, open to sharing where the educational intentions between me and them were common. I hope to do the same time I have a class before primary school but it is crucial first to establish mutual trust that will allow parents to eliminate the anxiety they now experience for their puppies that are growing. Knowing that parents are the first to suffer for school leaps, they are worried about behavior, whether they eat at the cafe or not, when they learn to read and write, the school time that could tire their children .. After this first moment, I hope I can establish a good reciprocal relationship with them. I will start right tomorrow, that we will have a collegial meeting, to present myself with a coffee thermon of coffee and some cake to make a boring meeting a convivial moment.

My work abroad was about teaching mother tongue, culture, history and geography. Many of students do not speak mother tongue of their parents. Parents play a major role in education because they create a base. The atmosphere in the family has a lot of influence on the quality of teaching. If the family does not care about the mother tongue and culture, the classes (once a week) can not help much. In a large percentage of grandparents play a crucial role in preserving the identity of these families.

Teaching in a professional cooking school is a daily exploration and discovery, students are engaged in so many practical activities which are periodically shown to their parents during fairs, meetings or exibithions. Last year a huge musical about the Cafè Chantant was set up by our students and all parents were invited to see the show in the school theatre. The show was a great success and parents congratulated teachers and students for their commitment. Cooking competitions are also held by the school where students compete among
themselves to create the best dish to savour

Every year we organize an "Other kind of school" in which we develop novel activities for an entire week, and parents usually come to kindergartens and schools to participate with students and teacher on  multi-cultural trips. We also have seasonal feasts celebrations  with students playing

We organize the "Open gates"programs in order to inform parents about the activities we usually develop at school and kindergarten, so they can become aware of the multi-possibilities that we can provide for their children development on the educational areas.

In my school, parents were always invited to participate as audience in activities of start and end of school year activities, but never was invited to be an audience for student´s work. We don’t have a register of parents with information about their interest, skills or time for joining us. It seems so simple. It´s a great idea because students will work for a real purpose. Students who will see a meaning for their work, work better. I could create something like that: a pedagogical value to students works.

A register and regular parent fairs are great ideas for parental engagement. We don‘t have a register, but we organise a Christmas concert given by students to their parents after which parents are awarded papers of appreciation for their children achievements at school, city or even state. Once a year parents take part in a trivia contest and sports event together with their children and teachers. These events help to strengthen school community bonds. We don‘t have a tradition to invite parents to lessons, but sometimes we ask them to share their successful career stories. I think it would be great to work on a common school plan for parental engagement in teaching students.

# data[].attributes.body
At my school there are not many opportunities for parents to participate pedagogically in their children's education. The relationship with the parents is exhausted in the transmission of information about their use, behavior and attendance. I think it is necessary to create other types of opportunities for parents to actively participate in their children's education and school tasks. The holding of fairs, events, training, manual exchange programs managed by parents, sports activities, among others, can represent good opportunities.

I really liked the video that was shared on this topic. Regarding the work I do with parents at school, it has been an invitation to attend certain colloquia on topics that will be of interest to them and often to come and talk about their professional experience. From the knowledge I have, from the comments I sometimes hear from some teachers, they are not very adept at having their parents in the classroom in order to help them in their school activities. Is it because he is afraid that his work will be called into question? I often hear that "parents are very complicated, they are all concerned, they question everything". Perhaps this is linked to the way most teachers program their classes, even in a very expository way, not accepting very well when asked about any subject or pedagogical strategies used to promote learning.

At our school we aren't used to having parents in our classrooms. We try to involve parents through a project "school for parents" and nothing else happens. Last year I organized a session to deliver the prizes to the students that won and participated in some English contests. For the first time I asked parents to be present in spite of the skepticism of our director. Parents loved to be there and see their children being rewarded. They told me that parents should be asked to come to school more often for other purposes than meeting with a class teacher to get aware of problems. They're right. Definitely!

The family-school relationship is an important factor in promoting pupils' learning, it is a dimension to which it is necessary to invest because it produces benefits at all levels, but above all because it promotes learning and well-being in pupils. A parent's opportunity with me would be to establish parent-child parenting, parental help in homework, and the involvement of families in non-teaching activities. At the end of this path, both have a say in this regard.

As I give student support, by teaching study skills and providing learning strategies it is important to understand their background and what kind of support they have at home. So, in the first meeting, I feel a register form with parents and student, to collect some useful information about the student and his family, such as academic and reading habits or who is available to follow students’ work at home.

We don't keep such a parents' register in our school, but I think that's a brilliant idea for parent involvement. We organize an art fair every year. I think a good idea would be to  create a parent resource centre at school, where materials on issues of concern to parents are provided, together with a regular meetings schedule for discussions.

# data[].attributes.body
For example, at my school, parents are often invited to meetings with school partners and personnel so we can discuss various subjects like “study methods”, “children social skills”, “parent-children communication” and “parenting strategies”. Another example is that, regularly, once every 2 or 3 months, two parents per class participates in teacher’s meetings to discuss student’s behavior, motivation, success and involvement in extracurricular activities or in wider school projects.

In my kindergarten class I try to put in action every year a so-called "School - Parents Collaboration program". It includes  1) short actions that support and complement thematic approaches and other innovative programs we are working on at school. These actions take place at home, during the weekend. The purpose is to give children the opportunity to discuss with their parents about the issues we work on at school and to create together a final product. The ultimate goal is to help pupils get acquainted with working with the parent (something that will have a positive impact when the child gets in the primary school and there will be a need for daily child-parent cooperation). Additionally, in this way kindergarten pupils can become more responsible.
2) I also try to promote another form of action: "Parents as co-educators of their children"
This form of action requires:
* Parental involvement in class
* Organization and preparation of a brief educational activity by the parent (under the guidance, the support and the coordination of the teacher, as for the content and the presentation of the material)
* Presentation of this activity in the classroom
The issues I usually propose to the parents to deal with are:
- Art related topics (art, theater, music, motion and dancing)
- Issues related to special talents and knowledge of parents
- Issues related to children's favorite feasts
- Educational - informative issues (Nutrition, Health)
- Cultural issues (from the countries of origin of the parents)

The idea is that parents possess valuable insights related to their professional life or personal interests and talents. Through programs of this kind, parents are given the opportunity to offer some of them, not only to their own child but also to his friends and companions, on their first “trip to the sea of ​​school life” .... and make them feel much proud of their parents!!!
