Educators and Administrators, in relation to the needs of Parents of
your students, four (4) questions have been posed for your consideration in today's Going Back to the Basics in Education: Educators and Administrators – Pt. 4 Consider the Needs of the Parents of Your Students by Mrs. Dorothy Barron and can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGEwe7PblCM&feature=plcp
When it
comes to the education of students;
We want Parents to…
We want students to…
We want children to…
We want, we want, and we want…
but, and until
you first show genuine interest in Parents of your students and their needs, what
you want will continue to take a back seat as it relates to the education of
your students. If a Parent and his/her child’s basic needs are lacking and not
met, how do you expect to get the best of the child physically, mentally and
academically?
A Suggestion to School Administrators
& PTA/PTOs –
sometime it is easy to overlook basic unmet needs of many students and
their Parents. A good joint project between the school and PTA/PTO would be to
compile and keep an updated list of available sources, resources and contact
information to provide to Parents of students. The list can be comprised of agency
sources; academic resources, places to purchase inexpensive clothing, computers
and other type equipment. You would
tailor the resource list to your school’s Parents and students’ needs. Sometimes
Parents are reticent about asking for assistance or certain resource
information. Lack of basic and needed resources may make a difference as to
whether a student succeeds or fails.
