Q: Is offering the EMWP parent workshop alone enough or would it be better to have a series of workshops?
A: Generally the consensus was that the EMWP parent workshop should be offered this year going into summer with on-going planning for an event or events that would take place next school year.
Brainstormed ideas:
- Offer the EMWP parent workshop this year as summer approaches
- Is it possible to offer more than one parent session at the same time?
- Would it be possible to videotape the next parent session? Put it on the website?
- Publicize 826 workshops so parents are aware of this
- Publish family writing ideas in the newsletter
- Grade level writing featured on a website? Blog
- Give parents a tool by which to assess a child’s writing (a rubric)?
- Make a list of family writing ideas and publish them on the school website.
Did I miss anything? Please let me know :-)
My thoughts now: I'll work on getting in contact with the EMWP to see if sessions can be scheduled. I'll shoot for three sessions.
On the horizon (even though we didn't talk much about it at the SIT meeting):
- Education YES--a large part of the state requirement is filling out the indicators showing school compliance. These indicators will be factored into our school grade. The collection period for these begins in early March.
