You might be a parent looking for ways to be more involved in your student’s education. You might be a teacher struggling to find ways to connect with parents. Perhaps communication between you and school staff is a struggle. You don’t feel heard when attending or leading meetings. Emails go unanswered or are partially understood. Whatever the communication breakdown, it can get better!
Both parents and school staff are vital members of a team of experts who make decisions together based on the child’s best interest. However, when there is a breakdown in communication, this can make progress difficult.
Collaborating to ensure a quality educational experience for the child involves consistency in:
- Sharing knowledge
- Striving to always improve
- Keeping all team members involved
- Inviting experts to attend meetings
Following these simple rules will build a strong and unstoppable team of equal partners!
