Abstract
Revisiting the work I initiated at my school as a result of my participation in Engaging Parents in Teaching and Learning, I found a paper trail of sorts, depicting my bringing into being a curriculum of parents in my classroom. Now, after some years of reflection, practice, and refinement, and with trepidation, mixed with courage, confidence, and the willingness to make mistakes, I follow the paper trail that chronicles my experiences as a teacher working to transform the way I once involved parents into how I currently engage parents.
