To fully develop students' abilities and potential, the school and classroom must be organized to fit students' needs. They must be planned to ensure safety and order, and to implement organizational strategies like shared and decentralized decision-making, collaboration, and recruitment and retention of qualified staff. But school districts and teachers can't mandate involvement. School staffs can work to build mutual trust, collaboration, and support, keep parents and the community aware of classroom goals and expectations, and provide them with information about how they can help. There are a number of ways to stay in touch with parents and the community.
Staff can sponsor exhibits and student presentations.
Keep in mind the linguistic diversity of the school community. You may initiate school and community collaborative efforts. Tools explore new roles for school staff, parents, and community members to facilitate student learning. Education support staff can serve as classroom learning partners and parents as knowledge partners. Take advantage of opportunities to include families and members of the community in school activities.
