Foundational Beliefs #TheEdcollabGathering #15 http://mplsesl.wikispaces.com/WSRA+2017 When the community supports your goals, your work is easier. Community engagement projects needn’t be complex. Sometimes just about nurturing mutual understanding, support, and love. Public schools need good press!

Family Nights Science Night? Math Night? Parent Academy? Art Night? #TheEdcollabGathering #15 ‘The best family night I ever had was one where I just asked parents to come a local park after school hours and share a meal together. There was no formal talk about schedules or school rules. I didn’t make a big presentation. Everyone brought a dish to share and I ordered a few pizzas just in case. The kids sat in small groups together and so did the parents. We all introduced ourselves after dinner and played a game of get-to-know-you BINGO. Many new friendships were formed. I brought my own husband and children and I felt like parents and students viewed me as a whole person rather than just a teacher who lives in the school, as some certainly thought before that night! It really helped build community and positive culture that lasted all year in my room. “   ~4th Grade Teacher, SCF ES Science Night? Math Night? Parent Academy? Art Night? Music Night? Read with a Teacher? ELA Night? Potluck? Game Night? What matters is the CONNECTIONS…NOT the content! http://mplsesl.wikispaces.com/WSRA+2017
