Beginning last school year, we have made an intentional effort to partner with our students' parents to come speak with the 7th graders about their first-hand experiences in the places that we study in our World Geography class. These accounts have included locations we study such as Saudi Arabia, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, and Dubai. Parents have shared their pictures, videos, stories, and artifacts that connect to our classroom curriculum. We want to share how the idea came about, how it has evolved, and what we have learned through this journey in developing parent partnerships.
