A parent’s involvement is not only just questioning about their child’s studies from his/her teacher but actively participating in his leaning journey including different functions and activities arranged by their child’s school management.
Beaconhouse School System promotes parents involvement in their each and every function and in classroom activities as well so that the teachers and parents can work together to create a successful learning atmosphere so that the students can grow not only in learning but also be self-confident and can have better social skills.
Keeping in view the social studies topic of “people and professions”, and to explain this topic in a more practical way, the teachers of Class I invited the parents of their students, having different professions such as doctor, teacher and engineer, in school to participate in their children’s learning and to build a healthy parent-teacher relationship. To achieve this goal, different activities were also organized.
In activity one, a session was planned where the parents were asked to share about the nature of their profession and how well they can perform their duties. Afterwards, the students asked them different questions regarding their line of work and parents tried their best to answer all the queries. The purpose of this activity was to make the students more confident socially and be able to learn that every profession requires hard work, and dedication in leaning, that leads towards success.
Another activity was structured where the students were asked to think about any profession and then write about the details of that profession, how to be successful in it and what can be the pros and cons of that profession. This task was arranged to enhance the students critical thinking skills and how much they are aware of their surroundings full of professions.
To build the foundations of a school, a parent’s involvement is very crucial. It will not only help the students to reach towards academic potential but also make them socially successful.
