Maria Gergin and Jim Spyropoulos, Executive Superintendent of Equity and Inclusive Schools with the Toronto District School Board, will be discussing Problem Parents at School.
Parental co-operation has become a vital issue in our schools. Many of today's parents are demanding, involved and vocal, which sometimes presents challenges for educators. In this session, they will review:
- What is parental harassment?
- Legal issues relating to school staff and teacher harassment from parents;
- School board policies and appropriate responses from principals and supervisory officers regarding parent harassment; and
- Practical tips and best practices relating to addressing interactions with problem parents in a variety of circumstances.
