A PARTNERSHIP is a relationship between a
school and an organization where all partners engage
in the relationship to seek a common outcome of
maximizing learning and development outcomes for
children and young people.

 Better Together
Schools alone cannot address all of a child’s
developmental needs. The meanigful involvement of
parents and support from the community are essential.
(Comer, 2017)

Children learn best when the significant adults in their lives –

parents, teachers, and other family and community members
work together to encourage and support them. This basic fact
should be organized and how children should be taught.

 How to sustain communication?
Communicate with your child’s teacher early on and
throughout the school year. Start him by letting him know that
you want to play your part in your child’s education.

What are those things you should communicate?

Child’s Behavior, strengths and weaknesses
Child’s likes, dislikes and challenges
Learning activities, child’s accomplishments
Grades and achievements
 What is the best way to sustain consistency?
Creating routines for homework, such as establishing a
time and quiet place, is important. Providing learning
materials, reading with your child, and encouraging
healthy habits for eating and physical activity all
contribute to the success in school.

What is the best way to sustain consistency?

Talk about the methods for ensuring that you and the teacher are
“on the same page” when it comes to plans and expectations. This
kind of partnership sends a consistent message to your child and lets
him know that you and his teacher together support his learning.
 What are the common scenarios where
teacher and parent collaborate?
Plan and problem-solve around issues that may arise.

Collaborative planning with your child’s teacher involves

acknowledging the need to work together to address concern,
staying focused on finding a solution (not placing blame), making
plans that involve support and responsibility at both home and
school, following through on plans and checking back to make sure
progress is being made.
 When is the best time in building
good relationship?
A new school year is the perfect time to reach out to
your child’s teacher and begin establishing a
positive and collaborative relationship that will
have a remarkable impact on your child’s learning
and development.

As a teacher, what story
would you like to
share/create in this new
normal?
Create your STORY…
“Those in society who are in charge of schools must
never forget that the parents have been appointed
by GOD himself as his first and principal educators
of their children and that the right is completely
alienable.

—St. Pope John Paul II

 “WHILE NO ONE IS SURE YET HOW LONG DISTANCE-ONLY
LEARNING WILL CONTINUE, WE KNOW THAT IT WON’T LAST
FOREVER. CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE CUES FROM ADULT
BEHAVIOUR AND ATTITUDES, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO
COMMUNICATE CALM, CONFIDENCE AND OPTIMISM THAT WE WILL
PULL THROUGH THE CRISIS TOGETHER. MANAGING OUR OWN
EMOTIONS WILL HELP OUR CHILDREN STAY FOCUSED ON
LEARNING AND LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR.

—ACS International School

“OUR TASK IS TO HELP CHILDREN CLIMB
THEIR OWN MOUNTAINS, AS HIGH AS
POSSIBLE. NO ONE CAN DO MORE.”.

—Loris Malaguzzi
There is only one YOU and one day,
you’ll be gone and you are not
coming back. Knowing that, being
your child’s education will be the
best gift you could ever give to your
children.
Thank
you!
