Formerly had a class website with all ways to contact me. Every week, call at least 3 students at home to praise their behaviors and work in class. ]]> 2018-07-22 19:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/270797921 Sam https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019595 I send out announcements through my LMS - it is not always directly towards the parents, but it keeps them in the loop with what activities we are doing in class. I also send out generic emails when interims and report cards are being sent home - as high school parents, a lot of them appreciate the reminder as many of their students will not tell them. ;) ]]> 2018-07-24 21:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019595 Proactive Vs. Reactive https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019599 I try to reach out and build a strong relationship from day one. I start to develop that relationship BEFORE there is an issue or concern.

This received rave reviews this year.]]> 2018-07-24 21:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019602 I purposefully invite parents in to volunteer or participate with a class project. Last year, I invited parents in for a class debate we were having. Over half the parents in my class came to see their child's view on the subject and the hard work and research they did. https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019612 2018-07-24 21:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019612 At a previous school, when I taught beginning band, we held a parent night where we demonstrate how to play and let them know the sounds get better. During this, we share our email address and speak individually with all the parents that show up. We also host spaghetti dinners before concerts to help build rapport. Being genuine and letting parents know that I'm there to help their child and encourage them to reach out any time they have a question or concern. kkellis https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019625 2018-07-24 21:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019625 QUESTION nicolas_sevilla1 https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019627 How do you build relationships with your students' parents? ]]> 2018-07-24 21:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019627 Talking with parents on trips/BTS Night etc https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019641 2018-07-24 21:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019641 Kristin https://padlet.com/cwalther3/BuildingParentTeacherRelationships/wish/271019648 I start the year with a Family History Project, which requires a lot of parent involvement between the three groups
