I really enjoyed the group presentations today. It seemed that a lot of them considered the parenting of the students that we will have in our classes in the near future. It is important for us to get to know our families and create a community in the classroom and within the school. Families need to feel welcome and comfortable. It would also be nice for families to not feel intimidated by teachers. Remembering to not judge is something that is difficult, but very important. We will have a wide variety of parents and students from differing cultural, socioeconomic, and religous backgrounds. There will also be a wide range of levels of education to consider. The presentations in our "families" class today were a nice reminder to the level of awareness that we need to have as teachers.
