As you begin your new school year, I wanted to share with you something that I did to involve, engaging and build relationships with families I call them “Family Forums”. I decided that Family Forums would not only become a normal part of building a successful reciprocal relationship with the families in my classroom but also a time to teach and learn from one another.
Family Forums are important and build a reciprocal relationship with the teacher and family. They allow a trusting relationship to form that is helpful in and out of the classroom. Give Family Forums a try! They may just give you a new outlook on teaching!
