The document discusses the importance of partnering with parents in children's education. It notes that parent involvement has been shown to positively impact children's academic achievement, social skills, and school engagement. However, relationships between teachers and parents are sometimes fragile and misunderstandings can create barriers. The document advocates for a collaborative partnership approach where teachers and parents work as equals to understand issues, agree on goals, and jointly solve problems. This approach focuses on positive behavior goals rather than blame and can lead to long-term benefits for children's development and more supportive classroom environments. While parent involvement takes time and effort, it is highly valuable.

There is evidence that parent involvement in childrens learning and the quality of parent-school interactions have positive effects on childrens academic achievement, social competence and school engagement. Schools are finding that they can best serve the needs to their students by becoming more family-centred and more focussed on students emotional and social needs as well as academics. Often, home-school partnerships are fragile and it can be hard for teachers to encourage and form partnerships with parents and parents do not always participate even when they are encouraged to do so. A barrier to parent involvement in childrens school is misunderstandings between teachers and parents. Schools can best serve the needs of their students by becoming more family-centred. Working collaboratively with parents to effectively problem-solve a challenging academic or behavioural issue takes specialised interpersonal skills. When teachers take the time to build up a positive relationship, parents realise how much teachers are invested in their childs learning. Teachers should take every opportunity to show families they care. Students flourish when parents are involved in their schooling and teachers will find that positive relationships with parents are crucial in the event that there is a behavioural or academic concern that needs parental involvement or input. The ideal relationship between the teacher and parent is based on a collaborative partnership. This implies a reciprocal relationship that uses the teachers and parents knowledge, strengths, culture and perspectives and considers them of equal importance. Involving parents, particularly with difficult children, may help teachers discover there are family factors that have a bearing on the childs
misbehaviours. Leaving a meeting too long may anger parents that
they havent been informed about the problem sooner. Collaborative problem-solving will be most effective when teachers focus on positive behavioural goals for children rather than focussing on the problem behaviour that is occurring. It is important to focus on fixing the problem not the blame. It is important to maintain a professional and respectful attitude and not to react defensively or angrily otherwise the cycle of criticisms will continue. Teachers need to recognise that theyre dealing with a parent who may be highly distraught about their child. Once the issue or problem has been discussed and both the parent and teacher feel they have expressed their views and been listened to, the next step is for them to agree upon their common goals and to share possible solutions. Parents need to know they are dealing with a confident teacher who has the ability to handle the situation and to work together with them and with their child to teach him or her alternative prosocial behaviours. Involving parents in the childs education is a process that is demanding and time-consuming, sometimes frustrating and often rewarding. The value of this approach for the childrens social, emotional and academic growth cannot be underestimated. In long run this commitment to work with parents may actually save time as it can lead to more positive relationships with students, less stressful classrooms and more support for both teachers and the family.
