Through sharing we can help each other's weaknesses and could ask for advices. We also can set up new lesson plans together through our past experiences of lessons

Q2-As an educator I can increase communication with parents by letting them know how their children are doing in class, giving feedbacks about their children and tell them what they could support their children. Another way is to invite them to class and show them what I teach and getting feedbacks from them and talk about how we could improve for better education

Q3- The role of empathy in education is important. Empathy could make a bridge between educators and students and bring positive results since educators put their efforts to lead their students in good ways. Students spend most of their day at school learning by their educators. Educators' actions and words impact their further future, so teaching with empathy needs to be centered in educators' hearts.]]> 2018-01-30 04:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/225934033 Tina Le Chapter 4 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226402795 1.) When I'll be starting as an educator, I'll first ask for some suggestions and advice from them based on their experiences. I don't think I'll be entering the education field blind, considering these students' learning and performance depends on me. In the past, I've seen teachers' schedules have to be rearranged due to weather issues closing schools, so it would also help if I speak routinely with co-workers to how far their class has progressed in the school curriculum and whether various teaching techniques seemed to have positive responses from the students. Rather than copy them outright, it is an intent to see examples and see the underlying values behind their teaching techniques and the students' responses.

2) Many parents tend to be understandably busy, especially in Title I schools. At the first meeting with the parents, I'd like to set up their preferred means of communication, as I don't think many of the parents frequently use their e-mails. If their student isn't performing well in class, I would tell them they seemed to be struggling, but not to incite discouragement. I'd suggest plans to help the students and some information to how their home life is like to get a brief understanding to why perhaps for example if they weren't doing well in language arts when they may be living in a home that doesn't speak English as a primary language.

3) Empathy is ultimately the origin behind understanding and patience. Both of those traits are key in education. That is, understanding that not everyone's struggles may be the same and neither are their lives. Some students may be more disadvantaged than other students, and consequently can fall behind. Students shouldn't be punished for what is beyond their control. For this, I disagree that school is the means to "weed out" the unintelligent students. Education is for everyone.]]> 2018-01-31 02:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226402795 Damaris Carter Chapter 4 damariscarter1 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226831004 1.Educators can build relationships just simply by connecting with their co-workers. I don't think it takes much to just start a friendly conversation with someone you work with especially if you're gonna be around each other for a year or so.
2. I feel like it's easy to communicate with parents. Believe it or not a lot of parents like to be involved in their child's education. I would send letters home, host parent-teacher conferences or parent meetings. I've heard of a concept called " Class Mom" where each week one of the parents come in and help out with the class or bring snacks so that could be useful too.
3. Empathy in education is very vital. Educators have to be able to connect with all types of children for different races, backgrounds, and environments. Also knowing that every child doesn't learn the same so more steps maybe necessary to ensure the child is learning and actually grasping concepts. Educators should also have empathy in teaching. No one wants a teacher that seems like they're not really interested in teaching or even a teacher that doubts their student's success. I've heard a lot of stories about educators telling students that they will fail in life, and that's not right. They should have a passion for wanting their students to succeed. ]]> 2018-01-31 22:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226831004 Rebecca Quispe Chapter 4 rebecca_adams95 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226878933 1.) As a educator building a collaborative relationship with fellow co-works is important because having other sources and other people to observe can improve the educator room. To begin this relationship the educator can start off by just making conversation and introducing them selves. Knowing a coworker is helpful because you can share note and technique to improve their classroom.
2.)As an educator I would increase communication with the parents by sending written letters or even call/text about the student progress or even upcoming events. I would also try to work around the parents schedule to get in contact with them. But most importantly I would try more than one method to get in contact with the parent (if I get no response back).
3.)The role of empathy in education is important because it helps the educator learn how to communicate with the student or parent and to consider their feelings. Having empathy can avoid offending anybody and also have the students feel more open to the educator.]]> 2018-02-01 02:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226878933 Destiny Mack - Chapter 4 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226888856 1.) I believe educators can build relationship with co-workers be first simple conversation which leads to a friendship where you can look to each other for advice or help on with situations. You can schedule meetings together to go over anything that may need to discussed and help uplift each other.
2.) I think building communication with student's parents can be easy because I would all have an open door with them. I would make sure I keep them posted on their child's week or even daily depending on the child by sending home agendas and letters. I would try to get the parents involved in activities me and the students are doing.
3.) The role of empathy in education is to be able to relate to all children outside lives and their needs. As an educator you have to have a connection with the children so they feel comfortable which will lead to good results. Educators should ensure that the child understands that you care for them like one of their own children.]]> 2018-02-01 03:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/226888856 Shaina Silverstein https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227509740 1. Firstly, get well antiquated with your coworkers outside of just necessary work interaction. Find out what they believe are the priorities in the classroom, and what your roles should be in each others work. Also, communicate things you need help with, and offer help. Also, talk about your work and the children privately between you, to make improvements.
2. Being deliberate and disciplined with communicating with parents is key. Make yourself as available and flexible as possible to speak one on one with the parents, on their timetable (if possible). Send update notes home with children. Express pride, and make sure to share it with parents when improvement/ positive behavior is apparent, as well as expressing concern for negative behavior.
3. Empathy is relevant in education because it enables your students and their families to build a trusting relationship with you. Parents entrust educators with a huge power to influence and shape their child. Also, a teacher can serve as an effective bridge between child and parent, if they can understand effectively where the parent and child are holding, and relate to them from that angle. ]]> 2018-02-02 14:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227509740 Jessica Guthrie jguthrie13 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227598011 1. Collaboration with co-workers is key in all education settings. On our own, we only have the experiences and understanding our life and training has brought us, but together as a team, we have an array of understanding, skills, and talents. I have found building collaborative relationships with co-workers is about putting the co-workers first. Find a time to meet that works for them. Express to them the strength you identify that they bring. We are already so bogged down with meetings and things to do, its important the person sees the importance of them meeting. If there is no time that works or can be added to their schedule, even simple google documents or blogs to share your ideas to one another works well in our school. We also have been granted one off-duty lunch a week which we use to sit down, laugh, and put our heads together. Usually our principal or a teacher will make something to share as well so the planning becomes fun and starts off positive.
2. I have definitely looked into increasing my contact with parents. My Mentor Teacher only communicates with parents when something negative occurs. He has done this so much that when I try to call parents with good news they pick up and say, what has he/she done now. In my own classroom I want to send home progress notes in each class on a set day of a week. I know expecting myself to send home progress notes to every student every Friday would frankly be difficult. Instead I want to send home 2 periods 3 days a week. So two periods on Wed, the next two on Thurs, and last two on Friday. I also want to keep up a class website parents can access at anytime, and use Class Dojo to give in-the-moment reports on students behavior that day.
3. Empathy is crucial in education and also critically lacking. Empathy makes students and parents feel supported, understood, and truly listened to. A teacher is is empathetic puts aside their own desires, needs, etc to provide for that student/parent. The meeting or conversation becomes person-focused not problem-focused as the teacher is there to support the student/parent, understand not just the situation but how the person feels about it, and provide the support needed to help them feel better. I feel too many teachers are so worn out by the end of the day or when they go to yet another meeting, they come in cold-hearted and just want to get the meeting over. They don't listen but instead are focused on the next thing they need to say and what they need to do after the conversation. Empathy means you leave those things behind and for that moment, that conversation, that meeting focus on the person in front of you and how they are feeling. To me empathy is all about the feeling of namaste. ]]> 2018-02-02 17:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227598011 Kaylyn Becton https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227674640 1.) As an educator I believe you can build collaborative relationships with your coworkers by just getting to know them. I think it will be a good idea to know the people you are working with, especially if you are new. By having simple conversations you can get to know the type of people you are working with, what teachers share your common interest, as well as common issues you all may share about the education field and ways you all can change them. I believe forming the foundation of a relationship is essential to building future collaborative relationships.
2.) Teachers can increase communication with parents by requiring Parent Teacher conferences at least 2 times out the year (at the beginning of the semester and mid semester). Teachers can also increase communication with parents by subscribing them to a email listing where teachers send out reminders, alerts, etc.
3.) Empathy creates a supportive educational environment. Teaching students empathy and requiring teachers to have empathy for their students allows the teachers to understand their students,and connect with them on a depper level. Implementing students to treach each other with empathy allows them to understand each other as well as respectually recognize each others differences.]]> 2018-02-02 20:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227674640 Darby Kunnemann darby_kunnemann https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227768465 1) The basis of all relationships is an interest in the individual. By starting small, such as asking about the co-worker's day, will build into conversations where you can find topics to further discuss on a deeper level. From a personal relationship, it is easy to build a collaborative relationship. The co-worker will have an idea of who you are as a person, which will make them more likely to collaborate in a professional level.
2) as an educator, you can increase communication with parents by including them on their child's development in the classroom. Highlighting their child's strengths will make the parents more willing to discuss their child with you. From there, you can encourage open discussion about how to best educate the child. Above all, the student's wellbeing and growth should be the primary focus. Both the educator and parents want their child to perform to their best, and by working together, parents will be more willing and open to communicate with you.
3) Without empathy, it is impossible to truly relate to others. Every parent, student, and co-worker is going through their own highs and lows in life. By empathizing with others, you are able to see where the other person is coming from and how to better approach the situation. By keeping empathy always in the forefront of interactions, you optimize the most out of conversations.]]> 2018-02-03 16:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227768465 Gabreil Lumpkin glumpkin1 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227800170 1) As an educator, building a collaborative relationship with co-workers could start off by communicating with one another and helping each other out with lesson plans, advice, or about something that you may feel needs to be improved. Building a bond with your fellow co-workers is essential to building collaborative relationships.
2) As an educator, you could increase communication with parents by attempting to hold parent-teacher meetings every so often, which will allow the parent and the educator to create a relationship and get to know each other. Also maybe shooting the parents a text or calling them to give them positive or problematic feedback about their child's progress.
3) Empathy allows parents and students to feel more welcome and transparent about their feelings and thoughts to the teacher, because they may feel more comfortable and open. Empathy allows lines of communication within the education system to stay open and also for comfort and trust to be build within an education setting. ]]> 2018-02-03 23:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227800170 Aiyana Ross https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227811925 1. The most significant aspect of building any relationship is the process of genuinely getting to know your co-workers. After establishing a relationship of trust and mutual relationship, I would suggest paying attention to their values within education and their teaching methods. This will make connecting with them, on a professional level, more natural. When educators collaborate, it is important that they are willing to learn from each other and have similar basic values.
2. I believe that adding parents to an email list would be an effective way of increasing communication and transparency. I would also give parents access to the classroom website and have a link where they can schedule one-on-one conferences. I believe that the school should also provide a number of events that will make the parents feel deeply involved in their child's educational experience.
3. Having empathy allows you to build relationships with students that are genuine and compassionate. Students should feel that you are trying to understand them as a a person first, and then a student. Their experiences may be preventing them from focusing in class or having healthy social interactions. Showing that you can listen, and potentially relate, to what they're going through will be significant as a role model and educator to them.]]> 2018-02-04 05:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227811925 Joshua Tolbert https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227868815 Building relationships with co-workers is no different than building relationships with anyone, for it must start with a genuine effort in wanting to build. Once the genuine effort is the root of the collaborative relationship it makes it easy to continue the process of building collaborative work that will help children find the link between both subject matters. This will also help teachers understand how each other are going to approach the collaborative work and generate a successful completion goal.
2. Increasing communication with parents will include giving parents the sources they need to always stay involved in what's going on in their child's' lessons. I plan on creating an educational website that provides them with lessons that were taught a full schedule of homework, exams, and due dates. this will help them help their child with preparation as well. I would also create an email list that notifies them of reminders.
3. Empathy is something that i feel all teachers should naturally have for it allows teachers to be more understanding and willing to work better with students and parents. As a teacher i think its important to understand that we once were students and that along displays empathy in the classroom and when dealing with parents.

Educators need to build this trust by being open to different ways to realize the same teaching and learning goals. Observing other teachers and inviting them to observe you is one way to build this trust. Supporting your colleagues and the work they do is a good way to build relationships with co-workers. rcortes2 https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227877721
2. To increase communication with parents - I might try any number of strategies including email, phone calls, and informal meetings. My mentor teacher is also the baseball coach and he says a lot the times he has parent-teacher conferences after the games because it just so happens that's when he can find one or both of the parents. The other important thing to note is that sometimes foreign parents appear apathetic to the education of their son or daughter, when in fact, their seeming aloofness is more about a difference in culture than anything.
3. Empathy plays a huge role in the education of our students because it builds trust between the student and the teacher and, in turn, the teacher and the parents. The goal is to gain the trust of the parents so that the education of the student is a team effort. Emphatic listening skills enable the teacher to build that necessary trust. ]]> 2018-02-04 17:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227877721 Jaaliyah Allen https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227945121 1. As an educator building collaborative relationships should not be that much different in building everyday relationships. Get to know your coworkers, lend a helping hand when needed, do not be afraid to ask for assistance, give and openly receive suggestions to help improve your teaching style. Its good to be receptive to constructive criticism too.

2. To increase communication with parents it is good to make sure you build some sort of relationship with them. Give them the resources they need to be involved in the classroom and at home. A lot of parents want to be involved in their child's education, so keeping them up to date with a weekly/monthly schedule could assist them in planning ahead, and coordinating schedules. Parent-teacher conferences are a great way to increase communication with parents, to let them know about their child's progress.

3. Empathy in education allows the educator to better understand his/her student. It helps solving problems in the classroom and builds stronger relationships with the students. ]]> 2018-02-05 02:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227945121 Ashley Christmas https://padlet.com/barbarawalke/xvohrdpbq4ly/wish/227949016 1.I believe that building a collaborative relationships with co-worker is very important. Your co-workers are an excellent when it comes to helping each other and encouraging each other. In my experience, some of my closest friendship are my teacher friends. We share lesson plans, imitate each others teaching styles which helps develop new teach methods and one of the biggest things is we give each other creative ways of seeing the bigger picture. Building collaborative relationship involve having mutual trust and respect for one another and also working towards a common goal of taking care of children the best way possible.
2. As an educator, I would increase communication with parents by having an open door policy, parents would be able to come and participate or observe the classroom any time they feel like it. I would also have weekly communications via written notes or emails in which at the very least the parent should sign. At least I know they read it. I would also have call them at least monthly to discuss the progress of the student. I would make myself available to parents as often as possible to answer an question or discus any problems/issues that arise. My daughters teacher communicate daily with parents through app called live school and I really like that.
3. The role that empathy plays in education is the ability to understand each other. i feel that if a teacher has empathy for her students, she will be able to understand a student better and realize why they do the things that they do. Having empathy in the classroom just strengthens the relationship between the student and teacher as well as the parents.

Building collaborative relationships with co-workers is vital in maintaining a harmonious work environment. It is imperative to avoid gossip, support and appreciate your colleagues, be positive, respect your boundaries and focus on your itinery. To be able to achieve this, one must develop good people skills.

positive communication between parents and teachers helps improve academic performance of the students. As an educator, to increase communication with parents, one should Invite families to share hopes and concerns about their children and work together to set student goals.

Empathy is a skill that enables us to understand the student’s complex emotions, to gain a diverse perspective, and leverage relationships for collaboration and progress. Empathy is the basis of a caring relationship which allows us to connect and understand those who may be different from ourselves. A good teacher should be empathetic towards her students.

Building collaborative relationships with your co-workers could mean reaching out to your fellow teachers when you don’t understand something or need help with something. Asking open-ended questions, instead of yes no questions allows the co-worker to explain themselves and help you understand the subject matter more. Build teamwork with co-workers, make sure you want to be known that you want to be part of the team and you are there for help if they need something. Allow yourself to observe other teacher’s teaching styles to help improve your own. Be understanding and respectful of all teacher’s around you and their own teaching styles.

2. As an educator parent teacher communication is very important. Parents trust their child is in good hands for most of the day. Be personal with parents, write in their child’s agenda at the end of the day a personal note to them about their child’s day or something they can help their child with. Communication with parents is key so make sure to always have the parents involved as much as possible. Tell them about upcoming events or important school days, etc.

3. The role of empathy in education is something a teacher should always have. With empathy you build relationships with your students and their parents. With children because of how using empathy allows them to understand that you are understanding them and connect on a level that is better than just listening to the student. With parents using empathy allows them to have a sense of comfort knowing their child is with a teacher who puts in the effort of understand and connecting with their child/student.
