11.01.2022 Twenty Tips for Developing Positive Relationships with Parents: 12. INVITE PARENTS TO SHARE Distribute a survey at the beginning of the year (if parents don't read/write in English, students can interview them and relay their answers). Find out what parents know about and what skills they have. Invite them in especially if it connects the curriculum and content. Let them share with you their cultural traditions, interests, passions, skills, knowledge.

04.01.2022 Twenty Tips for Developing Positive Relationships with Parents: 10. LISTEN TO PARENTS Really listen. They know a whole lot about their kid. http://www.edutopia.org//20-tips-developing-positive-relat

04.01.2022 Twenty Tips for Developing Positive Relationships with Parents: 14. BE VERY SPECIFIC Provide ways parents can support their child at home: "You can help your child with her math homework by asking her to explain how she got an answer," or "As you're reading stories at night, ask your child to make predictions. This strengthens reading comprehension."

03.01.2022 Twenty Tips for Developing Positive Relationships with Parents: 19. SHARE EVERY SUCCESS Let parents know what their child is doing well, what academic skills, social skills or knowledge he's mastered.

03.01.2022 Twenty Tips for Developing Positive Relationships with Parents: 11. SMILE AT THE CHILD When talking to a parent in front of a child, smile and make eye contact with the student to demonstrate that you care about him/her. Recognize what he/she has done well in your class in front of the parents. Then share a concern, if you have one.
