What is This Strategy About?
This fantastic CPD training for teachers will show you how to build strong, professional relationships with parents which are essential for supporting teaching and learning in schools.

Why is it Parents-Teacher Collaboration Important?
When teachers and parents work together collaboratively, it can significantly impact a student's academic progress. This will allow teachers to understand each student's strengths and weaknesses better so that they can tailor their approach to each child in the class. This also creates the opportunity for teachers to communicate with parents about their child's progress and allows them to give parents advice on how they can further support their child's development.
