How can we, as a staff and school, create opportunities for parents to learn and practice advocacy skills? OR What do we do well? by Lisa Suydam https://padlet.com/lisa_suydam/614 Parent Opportunity for Advocacy en-us 2017-11-13 00:27:01 UTC 2017-11-14 22:41:17 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lisa_suydam/614/wish/206996323 I think we could invite families to meet all  of the staff (including support staff, custodial staff, etc.) so they are familiar with the people their children will be around each day.

I think we are welcoming and have good communication.

Reaching out to parents, letting them know that we have the best interests of their child at heart. This common goal will allow for confidence and lessened fear when bringing up questions/concerns. https://padlet.com/lisa_suydam/614/wish/206996428 2017-11-14 22:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_suydam/614/wish/206996428 We could create an evening that caters specifically to addressing parent's concerns or needs. Back to school and parent conferences are good, but have a preplanned agenda that doesn't allow much time for parents to talk. https://padlet.com/lisa_suydam/614/wish/206996441
