The Parent-Teacher Partnership How to Work Together for Student Achievement

Both teachers and parents understand the need to establish a strong, balanced partnership. Easier said than done! What can a teacher do to get parents more involved in their children's educations, yet not become meddlesome? What can parents do to help a teacher address the special needs of their child, while respecting the teacher's classroom goals and expertise? Addressing and solving these and other issues are what The Parent-Teacher Partnership is all about.
