What are some of the strategies teachers could use to establish positive relationships with families?

What will be an ideal response?


Correct Answer:
Sending a postcard or an introductory letter two weeks prior to the start of school is a good way to lay the foundation for successful relationships with families. A teacher might create a monthly newsletter of class activities to keep parents and families informed about what is going on in their children's classroom. Teachers should also send notes home or call parents when students are doing well academically. Teachers can also use electronic media to establish and maintain communications with students' parents and families.
