Author and education leader Kyle Palmer uses the mashup word "parentship" to bring clarity to the important work of creating partnerships with parents or adults who care for students. In this podcast, we go in depth with Kyle to uncover what this word really means to him, as well as his personal investment in leading Lewis and Clark Elementary in Liberty, Missouri, to become a Model PLC at Work school.
Kyle takes us back to his early days of learning about the power of PLC at Work from Dr. Richard DuFour. He highlights what really drew him to this process of continuous school improvement and the amazing opportunities he's had to put his learning into action. In addition, Kyle delves into his new book, Parentships in a PLC at Work and some of the challenges it addresses from both the parent and educator perspective. For example, how can teachers and parents better understand the effort and hard work that goes into each distinct and complex role to better support one another in the common goal of helping children learn? We address issues like this and so much more in today's podcast.
Tune in to learn more about:
● Meaningful ways to connect with family and build effective, sustainable “parentships”
● How parentships can help schools get even more out of the PLC process
● Practical steps to build a parentship success team (PST)
● Implementing a system to benefit educators, students, and families
