Co-operation Of Parents

Communicating Effectively

Frequent two-way communication between parents and teachers is essential for the former to stay updated on what is happening at school and to let the latter know important things about the child.Parents and teachers should communicate with each other throughout the academic year. They should discuss the child’s learning style, what stimulates, bores and interests them and any other issue(s) that might affect their learning.

Following a cooperative and collaborative approach

Parents are well-versed with their child’s developmental history, interests and lifestyle. Teachers have the knowledge of teaching, assessment strategies, rules and the child’s school performance.Parents and teachers should share this knowledge in a collaborative manner to support the child’s academic achievement. It includes relating what the child is learning at school with how they learn at home.

Facilitating and encouraging learning after school

Parents should support after school learning by interacting with their child positively about school and teachers, providing a supportive environment at home, and nurturing the child’s interests.
