Your last blog post of the semester:-)

Your final blog post will be about parent involvement in schools. After our discussion in class and your reading of chapter 6 you should have a good understanding of how important this connection is for the success of a child.
Watch the youtube links and post a comment about parental involvement. What are your thoughts? Do you have an interesting story from your schooling about your parent or a classmate's parent being involved in school? How important do you think it is? What can you do as a first year teacher to help parents become more involved?
Pick one of the questions above as a springboard for your post.

I also posted the Homework youtube in case you wanted to view it again.

Don't forget that ALL assignments must be turned in the first class period in December. I will not take any papers after that date.

Question of the next few weeks

Click the url link on the right. It is a brief overview of the book I read from the other day, "Soar your strengths" by Donald Clifton. After you read the brief synopsis, think of something in your life now or in the past that is a weakness and also think of your strengths. Share these with the rest of us and tell us how you have learned to manage this weakness and soar with your strength. If it relates to school, tell us if and how a teacher taught you to manage the weakness and/or soar with the strength.

The Foliotek link is listed to the right. Go to the website and click on the link labeled "New User." Fill in all the account information that Dr. Vazis gave you.
