The Importance of Teacher and Parent Communication
Miniland Educational: Playing today, for tomoorow
How much of an effect does successful parent and teacher communication have on a child’s educational development? Well, let’s just say that it simply can’t be overstated.

Content: How often do they want to get updates from you? What kind of feedback would they like and from who would they like it from – you or the principal? Initiate the contact with them and don’t wait for them to come to you – as often parents can be nervous or feel as if they are interfering. It is easy to talk to parents if they are active in the school environment and attend things like interactive shows and sport, however it can be a little harder with parents that don’t. The important thing is to establish why they are not involved – it may have something to do with work or clashing commitments, and you must never assume that they simply don’t want to be there. A two-way communication channel between teachers and parents is probably the most important factor in getting the teacher and parent communication thing absolutely right. Realizing that you are actually dependant on each other
Teacher and parent communication isn’t just about keeping open channels for feedback, it is also the platform for starting a healthy, respectful relationship with parents that will ultimately benefit your students hugely. Once you realize that both teachers and parents want what’s best for your children – then you can really begin to work together to implement it. You are essentially codependent on each other and both parents and teachers need the other to align with what they want for their children, or essentially to meet halfway. With both sets of influencers at the same supportive pinnacle, there are only good things on the horizon for the little ones involved.
