Communicating with Parents and Caregivers while Understanding and Honouring Diversity
Teachers communicate with parents, guardians, and caregivers for various reasons. Using an anti-oppressive lens, it is essential that, as educators, we intentionally implement effective communication strategies and be responsive to diverse family structures. In this session, we will reflect on our communication skills, explore communication techniques, and explore ways to navigate difficult conversations. Through collaborative learning, we will leave feeling confident and prepared to communicate with parents, guardians and caregivers in a manner that honours diversity, supports students, and fulfills professional responsibilities.
