This year in Wakefield’s Lower School we have started “Coffee & Conversations” an opportunity for parents to get together every couple of months to have a dialog around a theme. Our first coffee titled, “Tweet, Tweet, Hoot, Hoot, Blog, Blog” - was a hit! Here is the message in a nutshell:
Social media provides an engaging, collaborative platform for education communities. It is a way to expand our knowledge base on the most up-to-date educational practices and programs, as well as pursue useful information on child development and the like to support your children in this ever-changing world. It is also a way to tell our Wakefield Lower School Story.
Every community and profession uses social media to meet their specific needs. As educators, we must be lifelong learners to keep up with the demands of our fast paced society for new knowledge and skills. My purpose in engaging in a Professional Learning Network is two fold: personal and community-wide professional growth, and a modern method of sharing with parents and others how our values, beliefs, practices and programs are implemented within our culture and community. I do this by interacting with other educational leaders and teachers around the world through twitter conversations and chats through my twitter handle @drmisabel12. We share our ideas and resources and ask each other questions that lead to continuous dialog. I share much of what I learn with the Lower School faculty.
For the parent community I am sharing through my twitter handle @WakefieldLSHead. Each week I share a blog post that I have written, an article I feel parents may enjoy and learn from, and a “snapshot” of our day to day experiences. Please collaborate and engage with our connected Lower School Community!

Our Lower School is Junior Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. If there are any teachers, classes and educational administrators who would like to collaborate with us, please drop us a line!
