Building the Village - Transforming Family-School-Community Engagement for Return on Relationships (RoR)

Julia Pile, Laura Gilchrist — ParentCamp

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results. If that is so, why do we always do the same thing over and over again when it comes to family-school-community engagement and expect different results? This session will connect TRANSFORMATIONAL family-school-community engagement that will change your school’s ecosystem. Families, educators and community members will build relational trust which is the root of resilience and allows for collaboration to take hold. Eventually leading to the holy grail of impacts of student achievement - family-school-community collective efficacy. When parents KNOW their school leaders, they are willing to stand behind them, support them and work on the tough issues that face our kids and schools.

Listen to what schools in Delaware and the Delaware Department of Education share about the impact of ParentCamps in Delaware and their school communities.

Conversational Practice

Conversation or really dialogue is what we are all about. We train facilitators of dialogue. "Dialogue is a freely flowing group conversation in which participants attempt to reach a common understanding, experiencing everyone's point of view fully, equally and non-judgmentally." - David Bohm

Participants will feel the energy of being in a circle fully immersed in the conversation rather than a stand and deliver sit & get. We will use Mentimeter at the end for participants to capture their shared experiences.
