https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf At our school, the biggest opportunity we have to engage and share with whanau is during our 6 monthly ILP process. When reflecting on our current practice, in what ways could we improve this process to ensure it is completely whanau-centered. en-us 2021-05-09 05:01:12 UTC 2021-05-09 05:25:25 UTC hello@padlet.com kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505849754 Finding a common ground. Some of our parents have formed negative emotions towards a school environment due to their own or children's experiences. Is there a way that we could use spaces within our community to meet? e.g. church, library, community centre, their own house?]]> 2021-05-09 05:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505849754 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505852580 Our current shared planning document is great but perhaps we could send it out prior to the ILP, a week or so to give whanau the opportunity to think about what they would like to share in advance, i feel sometimes parents can be overwhelmed and forget during the meetings]]> 2021-05-09 05:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505852580 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505855088 I feel that sometimes we can be a bit precious about who is able to input into the meetings. For some of our families it's not just 1-2 parents involved, it takes a village, maybe we could ask who they would like to invite? It includes different organisations that they work with outside the conventional education supports]]> 2021-05-09 05:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505855088 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505857248 During our ILP's over lockdown families seemed significantly more comfortable having the meetings from their own homes. Obviously this does not fit everyone but perhaps making this a possibility for all families that they can choose from]]> 2021-05-09 05:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505857248 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505860422 Can we use this time to go over transition profiles, crisis development models and transition profiles? This way we are constantly having parent input into our planning document]]> 2021-05-09 05:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505860422 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505861979 Personally I think that what we have at the moment is the perfect amount. Feedback I have had from parents is that they are happy and comfortable with the current process. Don't fix what isn't broken]]> 2021-05-09 05:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505861979 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505863399 It can be intimidating when our staff outnumber them when they walk in. I think we need to be careful how we present ourselves to make them comfortable]]> 2021-05-09 05:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505863399 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505865211 Fully agree with the video call comment, it was super successful and I think it would ease a lot of parents anxiety]]> 2021-05-09 05:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505865211 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505866183 Can be a real cultural thing as-well, some of our parents feel that when they come into someone else's space they have the higher ground which restricts them sharing]]> 2021-05-09 05:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505866183 kendra13 https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505867709 Agree with almost all of these answers! We have a great relationship as a school with our whanau but there is definitely room for a few tweaks needed.]]> 2021-05-09 05:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra13/h33xt4rvq32wwamf/wish/1505867709
