Workshop 2
Tuesday, 9:40 AM - 11:40 AM
Digital Tools to Promote Family Engagement & Student Success
Salon A
Megan Bacorn & Michelle Tharp Penaloza
Our teachers in West Virginia work hard to educate students but it takes a whole village to bring up a child. Learn (and share what you do) to communicate easily with families and include families in their children’s educational journey. We will take the first steps outside of our comfort zones and explore ideas that will challenge our way of thinking about family engagement. Participants will learn how to create a welcome that supports a partnership for family engagement; they will identify and implement best practices for communicating with their families; they will establish a professional online presence that supports all families and students in a safe learning environment; as well as how to strengthen the family engagement partnership by sharing student success. Participants will gain invaluable ideas and skills designed to transform their perspective and teaching practices to promote their students’ successes.
Explore the Power of Creating Videos with Your Laptop
Salon B
