Want to strengthen family & community engagement in your #school? Try a flashmob!

Looking for a way to strengthen the family and community engagement at your school? Take a page from the book of PS 10 in Brooklyn, New York.  At a Citywide professional development event where I was discussing using social media to connect and coordinate with families, Parent Coordinator Madeline Seide shared with me the amazing success her school had.

Parent Kristi Spessard, who has a background in choreography worked with families and school staff to organize a huge flashmob on the school playground early one morning as students were lining up for class.  The event was video taped by several members of the school community including Joshua Berger, Benton Collins, John Hennegan, Daniel Koehler, and Mark Rattelle then edited by Benton Collins.

From there the social media fest began!
