Teaching

• ADHD in the Classroom

• The Flexible Teacher 

• Salesianum Educational Support 

• UDL presentation by Educational Support Services

• Don't know where you're going? Parents may ask for directions, but don't worry! We will have student volunteers! 

• Have the parents talk! This kills the "awkward silence"  

  • Have them introduce themselves to their neighbor 

  • Here is a fun dice ice breaker template (modify for your content!) 

• Start your class as usual!  With the Direction of Intention (or even food talks!) 

• Have parents seat in students' seats! (if you have a seating chart?) 

• HAVE ONCAMPUS UPDATED. 

  • bulletin board & gradebooks! (see reminders here) 

• Have a "one-pager" so you can remember what to say... no need to create an entire slideshow. You can always showcase the bulletin board from your onCampus class.  

• Share what learning is happening (not just grading & syllabus expectations)

• Parents want to know about you in addition to the course materials & requirements 

Want to learn from the parents, too? 

• Parents can leave words of encouragement (have post-it notes ready) 

• Have parents leave compliments 

• Ask for feedback from parents 

• Option 1 - welcome, timetable to showcase learning goals 

• Option 2 - good to showcase extracurriculars 

• Option 3 - looking ahead, classroom news (good for units!) 

• Option 4 - welcome back to school template

• Option 5 - meet the teacher, colorful 

• Option 6 - meet the teacher, white * blue

• Option 7 - requesting parent feedback
