Its 8pm. Time for #ukedchat @gavinsmart @8pm How could we encourage members of the local community to engage with education? @gavinsmart good luck Gavin! #ukedchat Welcome all . How could we encourage members of the local community to engage with education? #ukedchat inspired by #mygrandadvideo @ukedchat @gavinsmart @8pm #ukedchat evening all... RT @ukedchat: Its 8pm. Time for #ukedchat @gavinsmart @8pm How cld we encourage members of the local community 2 engage with education? @SwayGrantham: @gavinsmart i blame my ipad entirely for hashtag spelling mistakes :p #ukedchat me too! @ukedchat @gavinsmart Go out and meet them e.g. choir performances etc. #ukedchat Great magazine type book on Wordpress for Beginners. 12.99 Worth a look if you want to start blogging. http://t.co/kiHnu0wy #ukedchat Using local businesses to educate about careers and working life. #ukedchat For starters, one off projects - however 'regular' are not enough - communities need ongoing engagement @gavinsmart #ukedchat @eylanezekiel Very good point! #ukedchat #ukedchat schools should be as open as possible, I'm afraid they should probably give before they can expect to get. #ukedchat A lot of companies have CSR policies and have commitment to local community projects, a lot will focus on young people #ukedchat Students learn from real experiences, including those of experts. Any difference between actual visit and virtual visit?? Secondly, schools are mostly terrible at communication to parents, but also further outwards . must be 2way channel @gavinsmart #ukedchat RT @GeorgeEBlack: #ukedchat schools should be as open as possible, I'm afraid they should probably give before they can expect to get. What I like about some schools is that they host services

RT @Tech_Stories: #ukedchat A lot of companies have CSR policies and have commitment to local community projects, a lot will focus on young people easiest way is to make it worth their while - embedding work experience, regular work placements for vocational courses etc #ukedchat Survey parents and community asking them what skills they have and invite them to get involved in world of work days #ukedchat #mygrandadvideo is a great example of members of society engaging in education http://t.co/2Y6w4NSl How can we engage more people #ukedchat @GeorgeEBlack definitely, people won't make the effort until school does #ukedchat How about tying outdoor learning activities to improving the community i.e. gardening and planting projects? #ukedchat @eylanezekiel Check out @priorycsa using twitter really does work at enaging the parents, students and community. #ukedchat #ukedchat @ON_School is a proposal for a school with community ties 'baked in' - and intergenerational learning as standard not just setting up clubs and societies but also get sports clubs etc in to help out #ukedchat SIMCE Ingls: The Untold Story of the Chilean National #English Test http://t.co/bXlnZjqD #eltchat #edchat #cpchat #ukedchat #TESOL ##IATEFL Try letting out the facilities the school has - halls, classrooms - running adults classes and such #ukedchat I like the idea of the starting from a point of what can the school do for the community? #ukedchat Topic reminder: How could we encourage members of the local community to engage with education? with @gavinsmart #ukedchat Organise a community festival of learning during school hols or evenings with staff offering learning opportunities #ukedchat

#ukedchat I realise that this is an ideal, but having attended a community based school, and now working in boarding, The benefits are good. @GeorgeEBlack #ukedchat Saw an article recently where once a wk parents were invited to stay for first part of the lesson to read stories @eslweb Agreed. Start off with school taking the lead in a community meeting? Pupils as leaders? #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist I love this idea. This could be an open invitation. Why at the start of the year. Bring someone inor virtually #ukedchat New blog: Best end of term lesson ever at http://t.co/E08eqOJf #mathchat #ukedchat #endofterm @GeorgeEBlack really? Web do these kids get to spend quality time with their parents? #ukedchat RT @SwayGrantham: @GeorgeEBlack definitely, people won't make the effort until school does #ukedchat Using phrases as we do such as 'hard to reach parents' doesn't help. Lots of people are 'scared' of schools due to own experience. #Ukedchat @JanP65 Great at giving back to the community! #ukedchat @AmyG2191 #ukedchat Should check out @skypeclassroom they do some interesting stuff @gavinsmart @eylanezekiel @priorycsa still banned in many LAs. Some movement in ours recently. Fingers crossed #ukedchat #ukedchat Twitter is a great tool to showcase the quality of the work going on in your school. The @Rossett account is a prime example. @ukedchat @gavinsmart we encoruage parents by having a open eveing in September #ukedchat Fundraise and seek sponsorship from local business / council to build community hall / club on school site for building community #ukedchat @eslweb I totally agree. What can the school offer to make the local community join in with education. #ukedchat @JanP65 We did a little project retuning people's TVs for digital. Big success and people very happy. #ukedchat @ecarsontc @GeorgeEBlack are you assuming if they are not at these clubs they'll be with parents? Not

roaming the streets? #ukedchat #ukedchat also have time in the mornings where they are encouraged to come into class. #ukedchat - worth looking at @Innovation_Unit stuff on School as Commons - what this means is the school is a learning space for all @gavinsmart @ICTEvangelist someone told me about a scheme to trade voluntary hours of work at school with work from others #ukedchat... @ecarsontc #ukedchat difficult to do when your parents are working 7am till 4, school can be the only stability. Helps behaviour too. @ICTEvangelist Great to use the skills of parents and the community! I think they are an untapped gold mine sometimes #ukedchat @gavinsmart @ICTEvangelist ...is that what you had in mind? #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist How about instead of a teachmeet community meet? #ukedchat #ukedchat we have clubs set up that involve parents EMAS gardening clubs have parents involved. Supporting elderly community members... light chores, chatting with them, even supporting them to use computers to find things.. #ukedchat RT @gavinsmart: @ICTEvangelist How about instead of a teachmeet community meet? #ukedchat Macmillan Academy often used to do TV documentaries for the community. People very appreciative in Middlesbrough. #ukedchat RT @eslweb: @JanP65 We did a little project retuning people's TVs for digital. Big success and people very happy. #ukedchat Coffee mornings - invite parents in to come in and learn with a focus e.g. ICT #ukedchat ...And Hylton in Sunderland used to have a hairdressers on site. #ukedchat We open the sports facilities to local football clubs and young careers, but we should have more links with the local community #ukedchat @eslweb #ukedchat May like this reports for some ideas and inspiration http://t.co/MijbLq4b @nicoladarling78 agree completely #ukedchat it needs

someone to have time/resources to organise though @gavinsmart We could design schools much better so they don't 'feel' like a school. How about shopping centre/coffes shop environment? #Ukedchat @ukedchat #ukedchat blogs are key. Offer an up to date view on what's happening in schools.

Makes learning real and engages with community. @JimmV1983 @ukedchat Yes, Victory Academy are great at this... Even I follow it. #ukedchat #ukedchat try to get parents involved by giving them opportunities to s=come into school to help. use their skills plumber etc. #ukedchat a good start maybe is for schools to take interest in the community around them.

follow & message me. #ukedchat Organise special events, asking for donations from local businesses to support.. street party idea. #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist #ukedchat Likewise see if there are projects that kids can get involved with - making posters, planning events for local orgs #ukedchat try to get parents involved by giving them opportunities to come into school to help. use their skills plumber etc. @ICTEvangelist @gavinsmart #ukedchat I wonder about using my blog as a quick way to get feedback on what parents/community can do? #ukedchat The parents are keen to learn as much as the children. We did a Scratch day and had kids from 7 to 70 there. #ukedchat http://t.co/K6Lsbwnm RT @SwayGrantham: Coffee mornings - invite parents in to come in and learn with a focus e.g. ICT #ukedchat great idea! @cherrylkd LOL! #ukedchat Nice! RT @taylorda01 New blog: Best end of term lesson ever at http://t.co/7CcEk4jl #mathchat #ukedchat #endofterm #abed @ukedchat I've seen some schools using Facebook pages brilliantly. Means parents can comment and ask questions on announcements. #ukedchat RT @cherrylkd: #ukedchat coffee mornings and showcase children's work are good for engaging parents. Feed them cake. They love it. Is it just about making money for the schools to use how they wish or can the community offer expertise? #ukedchat @iteachyear1 that's a good point, a lot of people hated school and don't want to back in #ukedchat @KempsterD coffee tables are ideal for discussions! Could have member of community chatting bout their experience on each table #ukedchat @cherrylkd #ukedchat Love the idea of showcasing the children's work! The children should make the cakes and drinks too! RT @iteachyear1: We have a community room at school which parents come in for chats and coffee. Makes school

not seem so scary. #ukedchat Getting the chn out into the community to show people how wonderful they really are, not scary groups! #ukedchat @nicoladarling78 @ictevangelist I agree. Parents are an untapped resource sometimes. Invite them in for careers talks #ukedchat #ukedchat tshowcase work so parents get to see what is going on without having to come into school. some feel a little frightened! ooh im actually around for #ukedchat How many schools have big metal fences around them? Mentally saying 'Keep Out' break down the barriers. Design the people in... #Ukedchat @gavinsmart I think if the school thinks about money first then they won't build up any goodwill and schools really need that. #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist @gavinsmart the world of work days idea! #ukedchat @JanP65 #ukedchat Saw a great community learning project where school got an old house due for demolition which they restored... Invite local traders and trades into school to talk about the work they do in the community #ukedchat @nickotkdIV This is a good idea but found parents were reluctant to help out as had to go through the disclosure process #ukedchat As a boarding school we suffer from 'town and gown' syndrome a little, anyone got any ideas on breaking that perception? #ukedchat @GeorgeEBlack so why have kids in the first place then? #ukedchat #ukedchat look at DMU and their DMUSquaremile project! Community service 4 students as part of learning projects. Work in care homes, tidying up unusable space 2 make community area etc #ukedchat @nickotkdIV I like that idea. I always stop to look at the drawings from local schools on the boards at Tesco! #ukedchat #ukedchat agree with most of what's said about transparency and communication.as a parent,I want to

know what my sons up to and how to help #ukedchat As part of my, everything should have an audience theme next year, the children's work should be presented to parents/community! @iteachyear1 sounds great! Do you ever wonder if we distance ourselves too much from parents? #ukedchat @GeorgeEBlack My School helps out gardening at the local Church and plays at the town Rugby club etc #ukedchat @JanP65 very true #ukedchat. maybe have them come into school in holidays etc then pub;lise who has helped at the beginning of term. #ukedchat we already provide community service, MR, and we are the only school in the country with Fire service... But still gaps to bridge. RT @JanP65: Organise special events, asking for donations from local businesses to support.. street party idea. #ukedchat @KempsterD Isn't that an issue atleat partially caused by our overly 'nannying' culture? #ukedchat All Y7s at my schl & partner schl in Harlow do a 'Family Learning Project': go to Museum with parents at w/e, then do a 'response' #ukedchat RT @SwayGrantham: Getting the chn out into the community to show people how wonderful they really are, not scary groups! #ukedchat @asober Why not get Costa to build in a coffee shop into the school? We must think much more differently to get 'the community' in #Ukedchat Rename the school for a day or days. Turn it into something else, art gallery, factory, restaurant, workshop, shop! etc #ukedchat @asober @gavinsmart #ukedchat ah cool. No it wasnt but it sounds a great idea! @nicoladarling78 This could be done in so many different ways! Blog, tweets, Facebook page as well as displays, presentations etc #ukedchat #ukedchat Do our concerns about security and 'child safety' form a barrier to real engagement? technology can only do so much @NQTnewbie This is excellent idea i feel that the usual visitors to school are usually not trades people. #ukedchat

@JanP65 @nickotkdIV I was originally going to have a board BUT the blog has filled this gap ;-) #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist @gavinsmart yes, if I can find the website this guy told me about! Will try to run a search #ukedchat #ukedchat - why can't parents, grandparents, and others come in and out of the school? (if not on the sex-offender register of course!) #ukedchat 2 schools near me have a park over the road will the get involved with friends group no .taken 1 year just to get them to meeting What about the inclusion of full time working parents? #ukedchat #ukedchat in what industry would clients be offered two 510 min meetings per year? @Sdewer Partly. It all happened after the shooting at Dunblane. Suddenly my Primary school I was teaching in became a fortress. #Ukedchat #ukedchat parents like to be involved. i know we give them role in big productions such a prop maker/stage creation. noncontact positions @JanP65 #ukedchat Incorporated curriculum into project used history to restore interior etc comm saw kids work & what they were learning RT @davidhunter: #ukedchat agree with most of what's said about transparency and communication.as a parent,I want to know what my sons up to and how to help The club I run with Yr6 needed sponsorship so we approached a car dealer. They sponsored club but are now involved in other areas #ukedchat @nicoladarling78 A board would still be good as not all people in the community will be have computer know how... #ukedchat @nicoladarling78 @JanP65 good way of course is the blog. easy and painless for many parents! #ukedchat Local people come and teach for a day, school takeover! #ukedchat @JanP65 Exactly, we have worked on blogging BUT next year I'd like end of topic presentations where the children plan it all! #ukedchat @KempsterD An issue with bringing people into schools. Hence the nightmare of disclosure forms in Scotland

#ukedchat My mum used to run a reading session for children and parents before school. Told me that some parents couldn't read, Gentle help! #ukedchat #ukedchat blogs are often good as they allow parents to see what is happen and take away all of the pressure of being in school! @KempsterD some sort of community cafe or shop, designed by the children, run by school/community would be brilliant #ukedchat RT @JanP65: How about tying outdoor learning activities to improving the community i.e. gardening and planting projects? #ukedchat @nicoladarling78 Excellent idea.

people do? #ukedchat as a school we are trying to get good links with the university. this has encouraged many parents. @nickotkdIV #ukedchat I agree, blogs are great and a great thing to be able to show at parent's day and if they query work. @SwayGrantham #ukedchat A HT in Wales runs iPad clubs to teach parents. Gets them in and they can help ch learn. Win win situation @nickotkdIV @JanP65 Indeed it is! Although, I would love to do #mantleoftheexpert style #ukedchat children plan, make and present to parents @KempsterD @asober #Ukedchat Andrew Mawson's "Social Entrepreneur" good resource - turned under used church into vibrant multi purpose venue @Sdewer #ukedchat thank you... The school curriculum requires service... It's Dof E on steroids @NQTnewbie ;-) Do we just get to sit and watch? #ukedchat I will be doing a blog this summer from the Olympics http://t.co/Qh0bo8KP #ukedchat want ch to share in experience too after 2 years project Maybe time to bring compulsory and post compulsory ed on one site. #ukedchat This assumes an educated parent cohort. What about the rest? @nickotkdIV #ukedchat It's tricky to get parents in when they work though, does anyone know of successful things run later on say 7/8pm? #ukedchat @cherrylkd @SwayGrantham I think it is a good idea to do some kind of ICT update workshop with parents. They are often unsure! #ukedchat @nickotkdIV @MichaelaPorter2 Who were dragons? Using business people from community can work, esp if they have some money! #ukedchat RT @GeorgeEBlack: @nickotkdIV #ukedchat I agree, blogs are great and a great thing to be able to show at parent's day and if they query work. #ukedchat parent associations. Do they work in your school? #ukedchat Have used empty shop windows in town centre to highlight aspects of children's work.

We do a motor show each year v popular but most r parentsetc Joined late - anyone mentioned Facebook yet? a common shared online space? #ukedchat #coversallbases My year 7 & 8 classes worked so well together today, it's a shame that there wasn't a way of sharing it with community. #ukedchat #blogging! RT @theokk: Joined late - anyone mentioned Facebook yet? a common shared online space? #ukedchat #coversallbases @gavinsmart Remeber that learning can take place away from 4 wall of school take learning to community #ukedchat @theokk Yup. #ukedchat @tj007 There is: Video it & youtube it, Google Hangout it, Audio record it, blog it, put an ad in the local paper. #ukedchat @MisiesD that sounds like a fabulous idea! #ukedchat A lot of comments coming in for students showing off work to community. What could the community offer the students? #ukedchat RT @samthewestie: @gavinsmart Remeber that learning can take place away from 4 wall of school take learning to community #ukedchat #ukedchat anyone find they make lots of effort with no hits? How do you promote (thinking of local store and qr idea) #ukedchat @artistsmakers I *REALLY* think you should tune into the current #ukedchat discussion as it is a vinducation if all of your work :-) @samthewestie I totally agree! #ukedchat @gavinsmart there expertise #ukedchat @gavinsmart offer an auidence that is not educational based! #ukedchat All*relevant* links from the #ukedchat session this evening have been collected at http://t.co/XUB5jSQD
