  1. Dual Immersion Collaboration

  2. Communicating with parents • Beginning of the year packet!!!

  3. Communicating with parents • Parents communicate with us and we with them through: • Student’s planner • The parents can write notes, questions, etc. • The English teacher reads the notes • If they are addresses to the Spanish teacher I see them and respond during recess or lunch

  4. Communicating with parents • Email • It is the easiest way to communicate • They can write whenever • We also write to them about concerns or questions we may have • We email to communicate any progress a student has made

  5. Communicating with parents • After school • Before and during school is not a good time to communicate with parents • If it is not an emergency parents can come and talk to us after school.

  6. Communicating with parents • Anytime a parent needs to speak with one of us, we are both present • It creates support for each other • It can prevent problems • The other teacher could have some insights

  7. Communicating with parents • The student is never present when the parents need to talk to the Spanish teacher. • Unless the parent speaks Spanish • The Spanish teacher cannot speak in English in front of the student! • We have notes going home frequently about events, help, etc. • Class blog • Post reminders, notes, documents, etc.

  8. Communicating with parents • Parent teacher conference is so important • We take that time to get parents caught up on the progress of their student and show them off. • We also may discuss any issues that have not been resolved. • The Spanish teacher gives any notes to the English teacher to discuss with parents.

  9. Classroom procedures • Both classes have the same rules • Both have the same management system • gold, warning, silver, bronze, time out • Both get caught up about any problems throughout the day

  10. Classroom procedures • Be 100% together on the rewards and consequences we give our students • Always look to help our students by making changes if we need to • Students know what to expect in each class, that is clear to them

  11. Classroom procedures • Students know that either teacher will tell them the same thing • If we are not sure about how to handle something, we always go to our partner and ask for advice • Have the same classroom theme (m&ms)
