Relationships with Parents and Guardians
Developing and maintaining positive relationships with parents is a fundamental part of your job description. Although it is not always easy, it is necessary. Parents and teachers need to work together to ensure academic success for the child.
Here are just a few techniques for building solid parent-teacher relationships:
|
|
|
Greet Them
Every time a parent or guardian comes into your classroom, make sure you have some sort of communication. If you are working with a child at the time, it could be a simple “hello” or smile. Everyone should feel welcome in your classroom.
|
|
Know Their Names
If you need to, make a “cheat sheet” on your roster with the names of each parent of every child.
|
|
Give Them Your Time
Whether it’s an email or short phone call, be sure that you are communicating with every parent on a consistent basis. Remember to share positive stories and information with them as well!
|
|
Invite Them into the Classroom
Go beyond “career day” and ask for parent volunteers. Even inexperienced parents can read to your class.
|
|
Provide them with Resources
Go the extra mile and give them extra tools that are specific to their child’s needs.
