Student agendas are a great way to have students document homework assignments and track parent-teacher communication. As an evening routine, parents can review their child’s agenda to see what homework was assigned, any updates from the school day, and then sign the agenda to verify the work is done. When teachers send home communications for parents to read and sign, the document can be assigned as an item on the agenda to ensure that parents see it. Classroom Website
Teachers can include information about weekly homework, test dates, class projects, and field trips on a classroom website. Some teachers have also used their class sites as a way to provide links to free academic web programs and games that students can access while at home. This platform is a perfect way to share classroom photos and student work in addition to important classroom announcements. Communicating with parents is an essential component of teaching. It helps keep parents informed and maintains trust when communication is clear and consistent. Teachers can keep parents up-to-date by finding creative ways to communicate that can be effective and allow teachers the ability to hear from parents as well.
