Reflection wk 2
Thank you for the highly engaging and informative class. I found the concept of a "parking lot" an interesting one. This method helps ensure topic maintenance at staff meetings while validating people's concerns/ issues they bring forth. This suggestion is one that I hope to use at future staff meetings.
Another important point discussed in class was the use of jargon/ professional language when speaking to parents. Professionals often use medical/ professional terminology when communicating with parents. This makes the parents feel inferior as they are unable to comprehend what is being said. As one who communicates often with parents, this is an important factor to keep in mind.
Looking forward to the next class.
