School Community Relations Web Conference Reflection

Over the last five weeks, I have learned a great deal of parent partnership and how it is beneficial to student's achievement. Throughout the course, Dr. Abernathy and Dr. Jenkins offered web conferences to discuss upcoming assignments and what to expect with upcoming courses and finishing up the programs. I went back to watch many of the recorded conferences and they offered great information and helped put me at ease when I was feeling overwhelmed. The web conference that I found most helpful was the end of week 2. During that conference, field supervisors were explained more clearly and what to expect toward the end of the program. The reflection logs were also explained a little more, which I am struggling with due to duties at work and other obligations. I am working hard to finish them and be caught up by the last class, but it is a bit frustrating. I wish there was more follow through on the reflections and logs, such as this class had at the end of the course. I appreciate the web conferences, however I was unsure about the field supervisors until recently, which I have only attended one. I did not know who my field supervisor was and did not know I was receiving emails. Field supervisors need to send an introductory email, I also have had trouble attending the meetings. I have two more to attend and hope I can get them in before December.
