This stage is characterized by people who are quite comfortable with the traditional kinds of parental involvement described in Stage 1 - and are working to become more knowledgeable and capable of providing informed advice to the school Principal. This stage involves a stage of learning for both educators and parents. Both are learning to work with each other in new ways. Challenges Often this stage can be plagued by miscommunications, misunderstandings as people try to become comfortable discussing matters that used to be the exclusive domain of educators. Often this stage is characterized by people working to clarify what their roles are, and questioning the roles of others in the group. This stage takes leadership, patience and a willingness on behalf of both parents and educators to give each other a little room to make mistakes. Comment Most School Councils in Ontario have spent at least a year or two in this stage over the past five years. Many remain in this stage. |
