Initially when I left this comment I was thinking of a small group of parents who were coming from a good place but were a bit much for me this year. I felt like everyday was pure survival and communication home was the first thing I ditched. I wanted to hide from the possibility of communication because I was full of stress and anxiety. This year I am bringing it back and going to aim to do more. Need to find a balance.

Language barriers with parents and students and support system for student success I see as major barriers. Making sure translation service is provided and having after school programs/tutoring.

Coming up against negative teacher mindset around grading and what success looks like in their class-work ethic vs mastery, elitist view, deficit view, from the onset "students won't be able to pass"

I find communicating our SBG policies and using gradebook to communicate is challenging. It's so different than the traditional percentage-based grading systems most parents are familiar with. All parents want is an "A" but they're not sure how to help their child achieve it. And I'm not sure how to better communicate it.

I think trying to spread belief  of equity in all classes/with all teachers... Many feel they don't have time/are doing their "job" and it's enough and do not see the need to go beyond for individuals

Parent/Guardians do not support the changes we are making to curriculum to better support the needs of our student population. They often feel it should be the same as it was when they were in middle school and stick to the literary "canon".

I find it difficult to adequately communicate the context of what students are engaging with in my classroom. This often leads to confusion about grading or work expectations. I wish we had a day where parents were invited to sit in on their students' classes!

New students enter our school at 7 different enrollment periods -- this leads to barriers between those who have been there for awhile and those who are new. So the stages of building of relational capacity must be reviewed and implemented several times throughout the year to build those safe spaces.

Many of my parents speak only Spanish. I rely on my Emerging Multilingual Learners (EMLs) to help me communicate with their parents, but it can be tough.
