Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Swampscott District Curriculum

Since obtaining a grant, Swampscott School District has implemented a STEM Initiative. The district has been able to take advantage of STEM consult teachers, technology for the classrooms, and professional development for the teachers to help make the imitative a success. The first goal of the STEM Initiative is for students and staff to develop 21st century skills through implementing current technology in the classroom, providing STEM-related field trips, and incorporating STEM-based lessons.

Next, the district aims to provide STEM opportunities outside of the school day through after-school and summer clubs and by promoting local STEM programs. The third goal is to create a partnership between the district and community in order to increase students’ exposure to STEM. Fourth, Swampscott aims to provide professional development that assists teachers in effectively integrating STEM into instruction. The final goal is to develop an assessment that evaluates how the STEM Initiative is working.

Chalk Talk: Parent-Teacher Conferences: Discussing the Students

It is important for teachers to make student work available during conferences. This way, when explaining to parents how their children are doing academically and how they have been growing, it will be easier for them to understand if teachers explicitly show and point out areas on the work that corroborate what they are saying. Teachers may use the work to identify specifically what students are doing well and what they need to improve on. Prior to the conference, it would be a good idea to organize each child’s relevant work samples in individual portfolios. When talking with parents, teachers should discuss each child as a whole. Of course, parents will want to know how their children are performing academically, but it is also important to talk about aspects such as the child’s personality and interests. Many parents want to help their children when they are struggling with their schoolwork but are not sure how to. Teachers may suggest games or activities that are inexpensive and simple and can help with particular skills or content. It would also be beneficial to seek suggestions about specific books for children to read based on their interests and reading levels.
