EdTalk | Tips on parent-school interaction to help your child succeed
Good communication is key to parents staying informed about their child’s progress and will help them to overcome problems and achieve their life goals
Schools should be an active and caring community working towards the development of all pupils so that they can become successful, lifelong learners who develop into healthy, contributing citizens of the world.
However, unless schools and family work together effectively, children are less likely to develop the strong relationships they need or make their best progress towards these goals.
To be effective, we must have resilient home/school partnerships; with parents, pupils, teachers and specialists playing their part to ensure the best outcomes for each child and to overcome any hurdles along the way.
To form these partnerships, we need to have open communication about children’s progress and well-being as a foundation.
Continuing dialogue should be initiated early, helping everyone to understand that if there is anything, in or outside school, that may be affecting the child then it needs to be communicated.
