Preparing for a New Year of Blogs
I recently decided to return to the classroom to help second grade students learn basic subjects. I am also considering becoming a substitute or long-term part-time teacher for a local school. When I write the blogs and parenting articles for families, I need constant contact with kids and their parents. This challenge has been solved by:
- Providing workshops on parent education topics for schools and nonprofits serving families and education
- Distributing reading materials for families at workshops and community fairs
- Reading to kids and families at local events
- Demonstrating how kids learn when playing with toys at toy stores and through community presentations
- Working with teachers and parents in classrooms and modeling how to differentiate learning strategies for children
