https://padlet.com/knsmaynes/hynw6wd7wt3r What are your thoughts on working with the parents to create their child’s learning contracts and what advice would you give before working with them? en-us 2017-03-31 23:18:57 UTC 2026-02-08 07:59:56 UTC hello@padlet.com blakemellon https://padlet.com/knsmaynes/hynw6wd7wt3r/wish/167751820 I think having parents engaged in creating in learning contracts would be a really effective strategy. Many times parents are completely unaware of what happens in a classroom on a daily basis. I think adding that kind of engagement would really help the parents understand and take charge of their children's learning. I do feel like a little mini-lesson on learning contracts and curriculum compacting would have to happen, so that the parents fully understand what is being created. ]]> 2017-04-24 07:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/knsmaynes/hynw6wd7wt3r/wish/167751820 jacylawler https://padlet.com/knsmaynes/hynw6wd7wt3r/wish/167998544 My concern with involving parents is that the parents in my school are not very involved in education. Most parents do not care and have very little education themselves. I want to involve parents in the development of learning contracts, however I view this as a challenge that could take some creative thinking to overcome. ]]> 2017-04-25 02:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/knsmaynes/hynw6wd7wt3r/wish/167998544
