Informing Parents, Involving Parents and Communicating with Parents.
As a parent, teacher and principal, Jane Baskwill is aware of the frustrations of trying to communicate meaningfully in the traditional language of marks, grades and reports.
This book addresses this issue and explores the author's belief that if children's learning is to take place as naturally at school as it does at home, teachers and parents must become partners. It contains practical ideas and strategies for teachers to:
- develop two-way communication with parents
- provide parents with an understanding of whole language
- involve parents in the education of their own children.
At a time when schools are increasingly concerned with the need for parent participation, this book provides many of the answers.
