Parent-teacher-student collaboration is crucial for student success not only in the classroom but also in life. Finding ways to get parents more involved in the student learning process and their own student’s success is a daunting task. It is a challenge to keep parents involved and in-the-know with what is happening at school both academically and socially with their children. Parents, though, are the biggest supporters and the biggest influences in their children’s lives, so partnering with parents is imperative. Communicate Often
As most teachers probably already know, constant communication will help keep parents on track with what is taking place in the classroom each and every day. While we strive to communicate with parents, most of that conversation needs to stay positive, especially at the beginning of the school year. If teachers can send home positive emails or notes about how well a student did in class, the positive relationship begins. If the only contact a parent receives is negative, then the parent starts to dread teacher emails and notes and so do the students. Positive communicatio n begins to build that good relationship so that if a teacher has to report something negative, it is not as detrimental to the parent-teacher-student relationship. Provide Activities
Teachers can give parents ideas for activities that would benefit what the students are learning in the classroom.
