good morning.
00:06 - 00:10
Although students are very diverse in culture, socioeconomic status and
00:10 - 00:12
personality, they all have one thing in common.
00:13 - 00:13
They all have families.
00:14 - 00:16
Teachers, administrators, parents and students.
00:16 - 00:20
All believe that parental involvement in the child's education benefits
00:20 - 00:22
found these on schools as well as the student.
00:23 - 00:26
Whoever few teachers begin their careers with a clear understanding
00:26 - 00:28
of how to involve parents in the schooling of Children.
00:30 - 00:32
Educators need to understand the context in which students live,
00:33 - 00:33
work and fight.
00:34 - 00:38
Without that understanding, educators work alone, not in partnership with
00:38 - 00:39
other important people in students.
00:40 - 00:48
Lockets. The purpose of this research is to explore a
00:48 - 00:49
frantic race.
00:49 - 00:52
Ways of engaging those families who have suffered from the
00:52 - 00:55
oppression of structural racism through the lens of critical race
00:55 - 00:56
theory, or C.
00:56 - 00:59
R. T, as well as displaying more instructional and behavioral
01:00 - 01:04
problems. Cultural and linguistic minority Children consistently score below the
01:04 - 01:06
majority students and school assessments.
01:07 - 01:10
This project is important because parental involvement is the missing
01:10 - 01:13
link in the low achievement levels of our minority students.
01:14 - 01:18
High poverty and minority parents desire to be involved in
01:18 - 01:20
their child's education but do not know how to begin.
01:26 - 01:27
It's schools implement these changes.
01:27 - 01:30
A partnership between parents and teachers will contribute to the
01:30 - 01:33
educational success of students in partnership.
01:34 - 01:37
Educators, families and community members work together to share information,
01:37 - 01:40
guides dues, solve problems and celebrate success.
01:41 - 01:44
The parents will realize their agency and power and making
01:44 - 01:46
decisions that affect their Children's lives of the school level.
01:47 - 01:49
The effect will be a shift in the power structure
01:49 - 01:52
of this school so that nonwhites receive the same education
01:52 - 01:55
and graduate from school with the same access to opportunities
01:55 - 01:56
that white students do.
01:57 - 02:00
Students will become activists for social change rather than vehicles.
02:00 - 02:08
For the continuation of the current structure, parents begin educating
02:08 - 02:11
their child from birth and continue this education throughout the
02:11 - 02:12
child's life.
02:13 - 02:14
The school was only a small part of this lifelong
02:15 - 02:19
education, supporting parents by walking alongside them for a year
02:19 - 02:21
or so as they provide formal schooling for the Children,
02:22 - 02:25
contributing to the parents efforts to realize their hopes and
02:25 - 02:26
dreams for the Children's growth and development.
02:28 - 02:31
Parental involvement in the school can range from receiving information
02:31 - 02:35
and becoming involved in school activities tomorrow, authentic bones of
02:35 - 02:39
engagement and even leadership, which acknowledges that parents will know
02:39 - 02:41
much about the best ways to educate their Children.
02:42 - 02:44
However, because schools were set up in a Eurocentric wait,
02:45 - 02:45
they consume intimidating.
02:46 - 02:50
For indigenous families, making culturally responsive practice is essential.
02:52 - 02:55
Many teachers have turned to multicultural education to teach students
02:55 - 02:56
about minority cultures.
02:57 - 02:59
But this education has failed in giving students the context
03:00 - 03:02
and purpose for the learning or given them the tools
03:03 - 03:03
to advocate for change.
03:04 - 03:08
Banks cautions against superficial ways of bringing diapers cultures into
03:08 - 03:11
the costume that do not challenge the current what you
03:11 - 03:11
dominant system.
03:13 - 03:16
Educators traditionally have attempted to insert culture into the education.
03:17 - 03:19
Instead of inserting education into the culture.
03:20 - 03:24
Culturally relevant pedagogy must include epidemic achievement, the continuance of
03:25 - 03:28
cultural aptitude and the capacity to challenge the superiority of
03:29 - 03:31
the dominant culture in education.
03:31 - 03:35
Critical race Theory considers the focus on equal treatment of
03:35 - 03:39
failure to address past inequities, and they need for minorities
03:39 - 03:42
to catch up with the dominant culture and use the
03:42 - 03:45
curriculum as a document met to continue the dominance of
03:45 - 03:49
whites. When instruction does not produce results, the Baltics placed
03:50 - 03:52
on the student and the cultural deficits rather than on
03:52 - 03:56
the institution, leading to poor performance on assessments and contributed
03:57 - 03:59
to the belief superiority of the dominant majority.
04:00 - 04:03
If we're serious about solving his problems in schools and
04:03 - 04:06
classrooms, we have to be serious about intense study and
04:06 - 04:08
careful rethinking of recent education.
04:09 - 04:12
Adopting and adapting this charities a framework for educational equity
04:13 - 04:15
means that we will have to expose racism and education
04:16 - 04:19
and proposed radical solutions for addressing them.
04:20 - 04:23
Saint Denis Consider Sieroty and the implications for indigenous culture.
04:25 - 04:28
A culturally responsive education discards indigenous people by their traditions
04:29 - 04:32
and customs and non indigenous people as merely viewers and
04:32 - 04:35
consumers not responsible for continuing inequities.
04:36 - 04:40
Identifying indigenous people is the problem and allowing non indigenous
04:41 - 04:42
people to question the relevance of the information.
04:44 - 04:47
However, an anti racist educational environment challenges the current power
04:48 - 04:51
structure. Indigenous people are believed to be affected by social
04:52 - 04:55
oppression, and non indigenous people are the oppressors on the
04:55 - 04:59
colonizers. Of course, schools can study how to best involved
04:59 - 05:00
parents all they want.
05:00 - 05:02
The best way is to engage families.
05:02 - 05:03
Just ask them directly.
05:04 - 05:07
A committee made up of teachers, parents and students in
05:07 - 05:10
Regina is exploring how the best support and engaged in
05:10 - 05:13
a cover to Canada families, many of whom are considered
05:14 - 05:17
minorities in a school that may be unfamiliar and environment
05:18 - 05:19
practices, expectations and language.
05:21 - 05:23
Parents wanted more access to information on how to communicate
05:24 - 05:28
with this school on programs, deadlines, credit counts and graduations
05:29 - 05:32
to be more involved in school activities like diversity nights
05:32 - 05:32
and potlucks.
05:33 - 05:35
To develop relationships with teachers and other parents.
05:36 - 05:39
To organize home visits for parents to share knowledge about
05:39 - 05:42
their Children and to be involved in the leadership of
05:42 - 05:42
the school.
05:42 - 05:45
By collaboratively leading school events of teachers.
05:45 - 05:50
Fancies research has discovered a relationship between parental involvement and
05:50 - 05:51
success in school.
05:52 - 05:55
Parental involvement in schools beginning in early childhood for African
05:56 - 05:59
American families living in poverty is associated with school success.
06:00 - 06:03
Age 14 out at age 20 the more years a
06:03 - 06:07
teacher raided a child's parent as participating average or better
06:07 - 06:10
was also it's significantly associated with lower rates of school
06:11 - 06:14
dropout. Higher rates of school high school completion on more
06:15 - 06:15
years of school completed.
06:16 - 06:20
However, schools may need to consider last traditional parental activities
06:20 - 06:22
in order to engage the minority families.
06:30 - 06:33
Changes in the school should be done through collaboration between
06:33 - 06:34
the school and parents and students.
06:35 - 06:39
Some suggestions for engaging parents from this research are parent
06:39 - 06:43
experts parents invited into the classroom as experts in an
06:43 - 06:45
archer craft cultural math bins.
06:46 - 06:49
This teacher in Saskatoon welcomes parents to present an aspect
06:49 - 06:52
of their family culture and creates mountains for the students
06:52 - 06:53
to engage with the content.
06:53 - 06:58
After the presentation Home visits the teacher goes to the
06:58 - 07:01
homes to Boven authentic relationship until learn about and from
07:01 - 07:06
families, hopes and dreams sessions where teachers invite parents in
07:06 - 07:08
to share their hopes and dreams for the Children.
07:09 - 07:11
Meet the family nights rather than meet the teacher night.
07:12 - 07:15
Or teachers place families at the center rather than themselves,
07:15 - 07:17
giving families time to share who they are into gauge
07:18 - 07:18
with one another.
07:19 - 07:23
Home learning portfolios were teachers invite parents to keep a
07:23 - 07:25
folder of lying in which the child is engaged at
07:26 - 07:28
home or out of school places as a way to
07:28 - 07:30
begin discussions of Children's learning and growth.
07:30 - 07:35
That conference Times letters to the teacher or teacher's invite
07:35 - 07:37
parents to write to them at the beginning of the
07:37 - 07:40
year to share information that parents want may want the
07:40 - 07:44
teacher to know about the child family socials, diversity night
07:44 - 07:53
potlucks. Opportunities to connect with other parents by increasing parental
07:53 - 07:56
involvement in the school on authentic, engaging ways.
07:56 - 07:58
Parents and teachers become partners in the child's education.
08:00 - 08:03
Teachers and students would benefit from the expertise that parents
08:03 - 08:07
provide in the relationship between the school community Schools released
08:07 - 08:09
some of their power and are no longer seen as
08:09 - 08:13
the only experts And learning schools will adapt nontraditional system
08:14 - 08:17
that challenge the current era centric model for educating students
08:18 - 08:19
and looked at parents for direction.
08:20 - 08:23
Teachers become facilitators in the shift of power and agency
08:23 - 08:27
to minority students and families rather than participating in the
08:27 - 08:29
continuance of the current systems of oppression.
08:35 - 08:37
Teachers who do not have a relationship with their students,
08:37 - 08:40
families or quicker to make assumptions about the deficiencies of
08:40 - 08:43
parents who are less educated and live on a lower
08:43 - 08:47
income. Parents may not feel that they belong at this
08:47 - 08:50
school because of their own negative school experiences or because
08:50 - 08:52
they do not understand the language of the culture.
08:53 - 08:57
Schooling in Canada Disadvantage Parents may need help and encouragement
08:57 - 09:00
to become involved in the child's schooling, putting the onus
09:00 - 09:03
on the school to make decisions about how to welcome
09:03 - 09:05
and encourage parents to get involved.
09:06 - 09:09
Partnerships between school leaders and parents from high poverty and
09:09 - 09:10
minority populations.
09:11 - 09:15
Supporting school initiatives conserve to empower and provide voice for
09:15 - 09:18
parents who have historically been on the periphery of parental
09:18 - 09:21
involvement in educational settings and school improvement.
09:22 - 09:24
We think that if we learn about another person, we
09:25 - 09:25
will not hate that person.
09:26 - 09:28
But learning about a person's culture is only the first
09:29 - 09:32
step. We must also understand and work to dismantle the
09:32 - 09:35
structural racism that oppresses one personal privileging.
09:35 - 09:39
Another critical race theorists would agree that allowing oppressed families
09:39 - 09:42
to engage in leadership positions and make decisions in our
09:42 - 09:45
schools some of the very institutions that have aided in
09:45 - 09:48
the continual dominance of the majority group, we'll begin to
09:49 - 09:52
disrupt the balance of power and ensure true justice and
09:52 - 09:53
equality for minority students.
09:55 - 09:55
Thank you.
