Description

This module is designed to show teachers an organized plan how to effectively communicate with all types of students and parents that will last an entire school year. As this is not an easy task, you will learn several ways to start the process of knowing students’ individual differences, both school and home related. By truly getting to know parents, they will feel welcomed and valued to be a part of their child’s education. Parents will see teachers as being kind and compassionate in their jobs. Other strategies are given to build an educational relationship between teachers and students while taking a more productive and active teaching role. Getting to know your students at a deeper level will help teachers to appreciate their differences, as no two students are the same. Respect is something that is earned, not given. So what do you say, take the time to dig deep and start earning students and parents respect!
