The Power of the Parent-Teacher Relationship
Online, On-Demand Workshop
Both parents and teachers play a vital role in educating a child. Parents are children’s first teacher as they teach children essential life and academic skills while providing love and support. The connection and communication between teachers and parents become very important in any school setting, including early education settings.
Young children are very attuned with their parents, teachers and caregivers and read their cues well. So, when their teacher and parents are connected and have a positive and strong relationship, children are more likely to feel safe in their relationships with their teachers and have more positive attitude towards their teacher, center or school, and learning. Effective communication is essential for building school-family partnerships. It constitutes the foundation for all other forms of family involvement in education.
