3Improve family communication – Start a blog
detailing classroom activities and lessons or
send out a weekly email with similar information.
Keeping parents up to date with all relevant
educational information will help parents in the
learning process and help mitigate learning loss.
3Bring in a class parent – Invite parents to lead
reading circles, start a book club, or help with
math tutoring. If even a few parents can help for
one hour every week or two, this can make a huge
difference throughout the course of the school
year.
3Invite professionals into the classroom –
Whether it’s the chef from a popular restaurant or
a nurse from a local clinic, bringing in professionals
from the community is a great way to make
learning more interesting for students.
•Send students into the community – Resilient
Educator suggests several options for working
with the community, including sending students to
interview and work beside local professionals.
