12) Parental Engagement
The ability to engage parents, purposefully and meaningfully, in all aspects of teaching and learning.
13) Community Resources
Student learning is enhanced through the use of home and community resources. They know how to identify resources relevant to teaching and learning objectives, and how to incorporate these resources into their teaching and students’ learning.
Parental Engagement
During my last two practicums I took part in parent teacher conferences where a met and discussed student progress with students. It was a good opportunity to hear the concerns of the parents and the students in regards to their progress. This communication was continued throughout the term with e-mail and phone calls to parents when needed.

Church Community
Both my PS II and PSIII were within a Catholic School, so contributing to the Parish was a daily part of instruction. As a member of staff, I had the opportunity to lead a Friday liturgy with the students in the second week of Advent.
As a part of this Liturgy the students and I completed a mannequin challenge that showed where we saw hope, faith, peace and joy in our school community. It was a beneficial community minded lesson in drama, and an opportunity to perform for the school. The video is included in the Power Point. ![]()
