Description of the process and the possible stepping stones
This tool is sequenced over several working sessions. According to the model of competences we work in different areas:
Reflection of the own school career biography: Associations and self-reflection of the experiences of parental work as student helps to get aware of the own positive and negative experiences with parents in school.
Reflection of the work at school: In the new role as teacher I am influenced by my colleagues – their attitudes, prejudices and stereotypes.
The teacher trainees investigate which original cultures are represented in their classes. They compile in groups knowledge about the origin cultures (religion, migration history, traditions, language (words: as "Good afternoon".), ethnical behaviours, values, meaning and statute of mothers, fathers, teachers., categories of Hofstede like distance- nearness, time, power, Gender … and present their results.
They receive insight into different projects of parental work.
They get to know basic skills how to lead talks with migrant parents.
They receive a questionnaire to analyze how the school is working with parents.
The teacher trainees simulate a parents' evening. They train to present themselves and their concept of teaching and to get in contact with the parents.
