Communication with parents

Communication with parents is an important part of being a teacher. Speaking or meeting with parents throughout the year promote healthy relationships with them and their student. Communication also allows parents an insight into how their student is doing in class. Letting parents see what their student is learning can make them feel better knowing what's being taught and that their student is learning.

Email gives teachers an easy and simple way to communicate with parents. Emails allow for information to be spread quickly for situations that require a quick response.

Parent-teacher meetings allow for personal connections to the parents of your student. It also lets the parents meet you in-person which can make communication easier and develops trust.

Take home folders each week let parents see what their children have been working on in class. This allows students to keep all their work on hand incase they need any help in the future.

Calls home can be a more personal approach then an email and still gives ample information time. Calls represent a better connection then emails because there is direct communication between parent and teacher.

Home visits

Homes visits add a more personal meaning to in-person communication. It lets teachers get a more family like experience with the parents and student.
