Parent-Teacher Communication: A Guide to Effective Communication

Parent-teacher communication tips: Teachers and families must communicate regularly for students to succeed. In an effective communication environment, students receive higher grades, graduate more likely, and succeed more in postsecondary education. Additionally, absenteeism drops by up to 40% when schools cultivate strong family relationships.  

Besides school-home communication, there is another aspect of school communication that must not be overlooked: district-to-community communication. District-level communications roles shape schools' ecosystems and set the tone for how all communication is carried out—whether it's between a district and external stakeholders or educating school staff on how to connect with families.    

How does teacher-parent communication work? 

Taking part in a two-way conversation between a teacher and parent is an ongoing process. A teacher-parent-guardian-family relationship supports a student's education and well-being by sharing information and updates. Parents and teachers need to communicate with one another to create a collaborative partnership that enhances the student's learning experience.  

During parent-teacher conferences, teachers share information about assignments, grades, assessment results, behaviour, and social and emotional learning. Teachers also share students' strengths, from their perspective, where they may need some help, and overall information relating to the entire class and school.  

Parents share how their student is doing at home and any concerns they may have, and ask questions about their student and how they can help the student succeed 

How Can Teachers and Parents Communicate Effectively? 

By communicating effectively, teachers and parents can collaborate and share ideas from different perspectives in the best interest of the student's development. Personalized education, tailored support, and early intervention are possible through collaborative and collaborative partnerships that combine classroom insights with home observations.   

Parents' involvement in their children's education and quality of life is stimulated by parent-teacher communication. Families who participate in the education process are more likely to succeed, according to research.  

The benefits of teacher-parent communication 

Engaged families make a positive impact on a student's education. Research shows that students who are involved in their parents' education are more likely to graduate high school and attend post-secondary education. Additionally, schools that cultivate relationships with parents can reduce absenteeism by 40%. 

Incentives for students  

Collaboration between teachers and families (including parents and guardians) benefits students' academic performance and development. Together, teachers and parents can identify and address educational challenges, learning difficulties, and behavioural issues early on, which results in better outcomes for students. In addition to identifying areas of student success and mastery, school-home communication can also inform personalized education efforts to help the student develop new skills. 

Benefits for parents, guardians, and caregivers 

Engaged parents encourage better academic performance, higher self-esteem, and a positive attitude toward school in their children. 

Having engaged parents in a supportive and caring environment helps students avoid drug abuse, violence, and other problem behaviours, according to a study by the American Psychological Association.  

In addition to sharing the responsibility of their children's education, parents can also contribute to it. It is the parent's responsibility to know what their child is learning and experiencing at school as part of the shared responsibility of education. Parent-school partnerships foster trust, and parents often gain more confidence in a school's ability to provide a quality education as a result. 

 Advantages for educators 

Regular communication with parents and guardians allows teachers to gain a better understanding of each child's behaviour, home life factors, and support system. By providing this additional perspective, teachers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of their students.
