A student had not been turning in his homework the last couple of days and said that he had forgotten to do the assignment. Together we formed a system whereby for her son would have his assignment notebook signed every night by her, showing proof that each assignment was done. This worked because it helped the student bring up his grades and it helps his morale in the class. I really believe that collaborating with the parents is a key to a student's success. It helps the teacher find out ways that can motivate, challenge, and evaluate a student.
Collaboration is an essential part of becoming a teacher.
Collaborating among colleagues helps develop new ideas and interest in the classroom. We are not alone in trying to teach students, parents, colleagues and other groups must come together in large or small groups and help each other find ways in developing students mentally, physically and socially.
