Content: How to form a constructive parent-teacher partnership
Partnerships are most powerful when they include three main components, represented as the “3 C’s”: communication, consistency and collaboration. Communication
The first is communication between home and school. Like any relationship in life, communication between you and your child’s teacher is key. Communicate with your child’s teacher early on and throughout the school year. Start by letting him/her know that you want to play your part in your child’s education. Discuss with your child’s teacher the best ways to communicate. This can be as simple as sending notes to school with your child, leaving a voice message for the teacher, emailing important information or other methods unique to your situation. The best kind of communication is open, clear, constructive and timely. Frequent, two-way communication is important to stay apprised of what is happening at school, and to let your teacher know important things about your child.
