As the role of the school grows in children’s lives, it is
increasingly important for families and teachers to work together
for the welfare of the child. Teachers need students’ families
to share in the responsibility and accountability for the outcome
of their children’s education. It is incumbent upon educators
to make this partnership possible. Participants will be able to
identify the needs of parents, students, and schools, and learn
ways to communicate effectively with families. They will explore
strategies to involve families creatively in their classrooms. |
