It has been a while since my last post. I am finishing up my 4th week in the 5326 class. With school starting as well as football going on 7 days a week it has been difficult for me to be on the web conferences because of my work schedule. I have been reading the chat logs and have enjoyed reading all the input from the students and professors. It is not the same as actually being directly involved with the discussion but I have been kept informed of what is going on each week and what is expected of me.
This class has really brought to my attention the urgency and necessity of getting more parents involved in our schools and in educating their children. The more support we get from home and the more involved parents are with their children at school will allow us to reach the lofty goals that are set by the state. We won't have to place as much anxiety and stress on our students to pass these state mandated tests if we can offer our students a complete educational experience. If you look at the numbers on your tests that are broken down by sub-groups you will see, just like I did for my school, that the students that are performing well have great support system at home and have parents that are involved with what is happening at their childs school.
More to come later!!!
