Content: Early & Frequent Communication
As teachers, we’re often wrongly seen as the nameless beings that unfairly grade children’s papers. Yet, above all, we’re parents’ partners in education. It’s critical to build a bridge and maintain an open door policy so parents can understand what you’re trying to achieve. Only then will they be able to complement your efforts outside the classroom. A good way to do this is to communicate about school programs and child's progress on an ongoing basis. Start by introducing yourself at the beginning of the school year. Keep a notebook of classroom facts, the curriculum, study resources, contact information, key terminology, and tips detailing how parents can support their child’s progress. Establish a homework hotline where families can call to retrieve forgotten or missed assignments. Talk with parents, not at them. Establish a rapport of equality and create a comfortable atmosphere.
