Give students legacy and meaning

Build Intrapersonal Communications into your CurriculumAs we discuss on page 54 of Flattening Classrooms, Engaging Minds, one of the 5 ways students need to connect in the flattened classroom is over time.

We have so many opportunities for students to create time capsules to communicate with themselves. Ideas like this plan on Share my Lesson for a time capsule on the first day of school resonate

Parent-Teacher Conference

' Parent-Teacher Conference'    
   Is your Parent Teacher Conference a 'Good, Productive and Enjoyable' Meeting about the Student?

Communication is essential during the school year. Parents, Teachers, Aides and Principals should maintain effective Communication throughout a Student's academic life.

We recently participated in a Parent Teacher Conference to discuss our child's Progress and inquiries on his Report Card(Progress Report).

We conversed with his 2 Teachers: Mild/Moderate and Kindergarten(General Education).

We met in a quiet, secluded area where matters of privacy could be discussed.

As Parents, we asked Questions, provided Insight about our Child and shared Comments.

His Teachers, asked Questions, provided Insight about their Student and shared Comments.

We learned.

We set goals/techniques.

We laughed.

We agreed to follow-up.

Communication is essential for a 'Good, Productive and Enjoyable School Year. :-)'

Marie Duggan  He was my hero. We have lost an incredibly brilliant man who will be so missed by the world. My heart goes out to his family and friends near and afar. Apple will continue to live out his hopes and dreams. A true visionary. If it were not for my son Michael who is autistic he may never had emerging speech. He grew up on Mac and that was all because of Steve. i will never forget Steve and his amazing presentations! Rest in peace dear Steve and know that you made an incredible difference in this world and to all mankind. Sadly missed and forever in our hearts. ♥♥
