What are you teaching our kids?

This Wednesday, I have invited parents to come and take part in a presentation entitled, "What are you teaching our kids? And Why?" I'm still debating as to how to introduce the topic.

I would like to let parents know that, as teachers, we are also learning how to motivate, increase achievement, and teach students to better apply and retain what they do learn.

We are teaching the students to be independent, critical thinkers who can confidently communicate and collaborate with each other. We are also teaching them to be ethical and moral citizens who will take care of the world we live in.

I'm hoping to show the parents some strategies I use in the classroom and with the teachers to illustrate how we are teaching their kids and in the process demonstrate the 'why' we are doing it.

If anyone out there has some ideas, feel free to send them my way. And stay tuned for a report on how it went.
