Teacher Interview about Communication

The Teacher at Westwood answered a few questions about how she communicates with the students and parents. She said one of the most important things to do is work with the parents when their child is misbehaving in class. You should win the parents over in a way in order to work hand in hand with them. When a parent asks about their child's progress in the classroom, she said she answeres honestly about the child. This is neccesary and a must if you want to get anywhere with the child and parent in order to reach the students full potential. These days the teacher I work with uses E-mail, phone calls, and daily conduct sheets to communicate directly with the parents. A daily conduct sheet is sent home each day with each child explaining their progress and how well they did that day, as the child's behavior wil change from day to day you must send something home everyday. If a child is bad at school, a note will be sent home regarding their behavior and they must bring it back signed the next day by their parent in order to show that the parent is seeing what is going on at school. Communication is key in a classroom, especially in a Kindergarten classroom where the learning they are doing is essential and behaviors change from day to day.
