Content: Finally, we must utilize multiple forms of communications, in person, on line, in writing and in multiple languages. Teachers need to be willing to work with their parents no matter their assets or deficits’. Teacher must be willing to partner with the parent at the best level their parent can provide. However, the teacher must continue to attempt to communicate with the parent and support the student’s progress in the classroom. Teachers also have to admit honestly about their own cultural competency and commitment to work with students of color. Many teachers will not admit to things they struggle with for fear of being labeled or judged about their performance. ( i.e behavior management and learning styles of African American and Latino children) Lastly, teachers who truly have high academic expectations for ALL students to learn and become proficient are the type of partners required in our schools today. “Poverty is not my name, it may be my current circumstance but it in no way defines my destiny in life”

Thank you, Natalie for that post. I love seeing what is working and how teachers and parents are partnering on behalf of the children.
