7.3 Engage with the parents/carers
'Alex at the commencement of his practicum a number of emails to the parents of students he was to teach regarding his expectations, methodologies and assessment tasks' (Gleeson Report).
Engaging with parents wasn't easy as a pre-service teacher. However, at VHHS I was able to communicate with a parent via email on a particular issue regarding a student. At Gleeson I was given the opportunity to write and send an email to the parents of the class I was about to teach outlining some information for the coming weeks whilst I would be teaching their child.
A copy of this email can be seen below.
