Parents and guardians

Interacting with parents presents an important opportunity for teachers to make sure that pupils' positive behaviour is praised, academic achievements are celebrated and disruptive behaviour is addressed quickly and efficiently. After all, parents and teachers are working towards the same goal: what's best for the student. To support effective parent-teacher communication, we’ve gathered a selection of practical tools, which will help you to deal with a range of situations.
