MEETING WITH PARENTS: “THE TRANSITION BETWEEN CYCLES”
This was a meeting highlighted by the presence, attitude, interest and respect that, once again, the Parents/Guardians of the students in this school group showed when they took part, on 23 April, at the Head School, with the EMAEI (Multidisciplinary Support Team for Inclusive Education) and the SPO (Psychology and Guidance Service) in promoting and raising awareness of the change that involves students from pre-school education to the 3rd cycle.
EMAEI’s goals are to stimulate and share practices, thoughts and information in order to promote, in a single and specific direction, more and better actions among educational agents, in this particular case, Parents/Guardians. It will be between the school structures and others responsible for the teaching-learning process, in what is known as collaborative work, that the most hoped-for results will be achieved.
So, with a booked room, we tackled some of the issues that most concern parents/SENs, summarising the intervention in one main question – how to deal with children/students in the face of change? Almost all parents/EEs anticipate, along with their children, the embarrassment and discomfort of finding themselves in a different space, with different agents and different models of action. There is also the uncertainty of the decision to be made in the face of choices of schools, subjects, timetables, etc., and in some cases, the lack of legal knowledge of actions, with difficult choices to be made, but which will be their final decision.
The attentive and motivated audience asked questions, clarified doubts, put forward proposals and participated in the suggestive discourse to support work and routines, both at home and at school, embarking on more than an hour of sharing that pleased and enriched the meeting!
A big congratulations to all those who took part and collaborated in making this dynamic a reality, which fosters the rooting and growth of an active, responsible and inclusive school culture
EMAEI and SPO are delighted with this meeting and remain available to continue collaborating with all those involved in the teaching-learning process of each student.
Thank you
