“Everyone has something to offer. “

Five years ago, the primary teacher of one of my sons did organize an event that mobilize all students and all families; she adapt one Portuguese tradicional children story to a musical show (“A Carochinha”). All students participate in this show: some sing, others play music, etc. All parents participate too: some collaborate with the transport, others did fundraising to support the costs, and so on. At the end of this project, it was clear that all have some kind of talent, and that all of the  kids and parents was needed. This event has contaminate all the rest of the school year!

Meeting are open to anyone of the class who wants to take part. Unfortunatly the elder the students are the less they parents attend the meetings. Generally there is one of two adults who report the others the decisions taken  in the meeting.

I had a wonderful experience with parents last school year with students who were completing their final year of secondary school. The students were taking a vocational course on restaurant service so they decided to serve a Thanksgiving Dinner to their parents. A baking class helped by preparing the meal and my students served,decorated and laid the table, prepared a photo presentation about their families and finally served dinner to their parents. It was a very rewarding experience for teachers, students and parents as we all socialised without talking about school results as usual in parents' meetings.

Some parents are willing and eager to participate and contribute while others don't like to be involved (mostly due to their work schedules). I also see lots of mix feelings fro the teachers and coordinators - some are happy to have participation from the parents and are quite proficient at engaging them in a productive manner, while others fear that this involvement could jeopardize the rhythm/pace of their classroom. I found that when both parents and teachers are in sync, the parents engagement is a valuable thing and can benefit the classroom. Hence the  effort that should be made, on a ongoing basis, on improving the parents/school/teacher communication.

A great opportunity to involve parents I had last year, while preparing the Christmas concert where we would sung songs of Italian tradition in the dialects of my native city's homes. Some Italian dialects are real languages, so we had a great job of sharing texts and translations and, without finding a music base, we thought we'd involve a daddy musician who accompanied us with the guitar. Initially, to tell the truth, we were all embarrassed by the dad, the pupils, and I but then, between one of the tantalizing and the other, we got confident and worked together with great effort. Seeing that parent arrive on stage at the show's day, it was a very beautiful and engaging moment that gave way to many direct and indirect intervention opportunities.

I have two other positive experiences to report, but not in the classroom.
The first happened three years ago when I organized a camping activity with my students in the mountains. the parents were happy to organize themselves for lifts, visits to the camp site, food and kitchen equipment. They were really cooperative and were very thankful at the end of the activity.
Another happened with an Erasmus+ project, when parents were willing to host the foreign students for a week. They put all their effort into local tours, cooking traditional food and spoiling our guests with the best they had. These were quite special parents; the best any teacher could possibly have.
Apart from this, parents usually come to term meetings to get their children's assessment, or for weekly appointments once a term, but many ignore the need to communicate with the school, or simply lack the time or the resources.

Collaborating with parents is the best way for us teachers to face daily challenges with students and school in general. I always try to get parents involved in the learning process of their kids, they can do so much to make every step of the way easier and fruitful. At the beginning of the school year I like to meet them to show them which are the goals set for their kids to achieve, I also invite them to come over to school to talk about their jobs especially because teaching in a professional school students can relate to such important issues seeing them in perspective when theywill be done with high school education and active in a working scenario. Some parents who work as culinary chefs in five stars restaurants have often given a vivid account of their daily efforts as top chefs preparing not just meals but real work of art. Students are always interested in such real life tales and establish themselves goals to achieve in their future life.

The commitment of the students, parents and myself, allowed the objectives to be achieved and started with the planning of an interdisciplinary study visit, which took place at the end of the second period. This activity shows that we can reap positive results if we invite parents to get involved and participate, meeting their specificities and characteristics, as well as the environment in which they are inserted.
