Proactive Communication

What: 

Proactive communication involves taking the initiative to regularly update parents or guardians about their child's academic progress and behavior, without waiting for inquiries or issues to arise. It aims to establish a strong partnership between the teacher and the families, fostering trust and collaboration in support of the student's education.

Why: Top 3 Reasons to be Proactive in Communication:

1. Building Trust: Sharing updates builds trust between teachers and families.

2. Student Success: Aligns teachers and families to support student growth.

3. Reducing Misunderstandings: Prevents confusion with clear, regular updates.

How:

• • Communication doesn't always have to be a phone call. Utilize the technology GCPS already has in place to help you make communication easier!

  • Phone Call

    • If the parent/guardian's first language is not English, consider using the translator service.
