Ways To Effectively Use Parent Volunteers
Parents today, unfortunately, have almost forgotten the art of parenting
. Most parents these days are percolating their adult pressures on children and on the contrary, children these days to so much exposed that they are growing up too fast. Parents can become parent volunteers and get involved in their children's education and schooling thereby making the journey of education more pleasurable to both.
Parents by taking the role of volunteers can go to the school and help teachers in making the classroom experience even more interesting than what it is currently. The role played by parent volunteers is really worth as they are of great help to the children, the teacher and also to the classroom. All parents who are keen in volunteering can be engaged for this program.
While almost all teachers are inclined in having more and more involvement of parents in helping both the teachers and the students, it is necessary to choose the appropriate tasks to be delegated to such parents. The tasks that parent volunteers can do to help teachers can either be menial teacher tasks to directly getting associated with the pupils of the class.
In general, many teachers delegate teaching related works to parent volunteers. A small sized school desk or a table is placed outside the class room for helping parents to do the work delegated to them. Normally, time consuming jobs are the ones that are delegated to such parents. This helps in saving the time of the teacher.
Simple tasks in which parents can help teachers would be sorting out books, returning books to the library, helping pupils in their homework, escort students on their excursions, support students in arts etc. For doing so, a little amount of training is necessary for parents taking part in the volunteers program.
Even students can benefit from parents who are volunteering. Generally, all students may not excel or perform in the same manner. There may be a few students who are slow in writing or grasping what is taught to them at school. Parents, who are volunteering, can possibly assist such students in their study activities.
Individual students, who may need extra time and attention, can be sent out of the class, one by one, and parents can help them in studying and practice completed lessons. This way, a lot of the teachers time is saved. Parent volunteers can also go around the class when the teacher is teaching a small group of pupils by avoiding remaining student from the disturbing the session.
