2. Who are the persons in the school community that you can tap to help you establish a good
relationship with parents?
ANSWER: We might tap our students and seek our administration for permission to organize a school
activity that would benefit both teachers and parents, especially the students to maintain and develop
a positive connection with parents and the community.
Answer: Because most parents want the best for their children, you can use this concern to gain their
support and trust by simply demonstrating how much you care for them. This will be beneficial for all
of you, particularly because it will help us to use appropriate teaching techniques, monitor students'
academic performance, and even discipline students.
Session 3 – Strengthening and Sustaining Good Relationships with the School Community
Preliminary Activity: During your first month of teaching, were you able to get to know the parents of
your learners? What were your struggles and how did you overcome them? Limit your response to
200 words.
Reach out to your colleagues (preferably newly-hired teachers) and share your thoughts with your co-
teachers. Write down the ideas you got from them:
During my first month of teaching I was able to get to know some of the parents of my pupils.Some of
my struggles was communication with other parents and lack of participation of school activities. We
all know that a good relationship between families and schools is a top factor in positive students
outcomes.But when families are hard to reach or seem reluctant to participate ,building those
relationships can be tough.I overcome those struggles by offering the option or having meetings over
the phone or via video conferencing for those parents that are not able to attend the meeting.And let
them know that I want to work with them towards our shared goal of helping their child thrive.
Key Topic: Role of Parents? (K Melhuish, S., E. Sammons, P. Siraj-Blatchford, & B. Taggart (2004))
Required Task 1: Writing The following are some common school situations. Write the strategy that
you think will best suit the situation to be able to create a good relationship with the parents/guardians
and the wider school community. Limit your response to 100 words for each situation.
1.Claire is always absent and you never receive an excuse letter from her parents/guardians.
Answer: When a student is chronically absent, contacting parents is usually effective especially if you
emphasize how you've missed the student in class and hope he or she is all right, rather than
demanding to know the reason for the absence. It's also helpful to have a conversation with the
student the next time they attend class, stressing that you've noticed their absence, and you care
about them and their education.
I always try to avoid asking a student why they've been absent. In my experience, if they've been
absent for a legitimate reason, they'll tell you. Other times, there are personal or family issues they
may prefer not to share. When a student with a string of absences returns to class, it's important to
welcome them back and help them get up to speed on missing work. Giving your students a hard
time about poor attendance is counterproductive and doesn't make them want to return to school in
the future.
2. Your lesson for tomorrow is about different professions/jobs. You want your learners to meet
professionals and those working in the community. In planning the lesson, you wanted to prioritize the
safety and maximize the learning experience at the same time. You thought about conducting a field
trip, but it will be very costly and will require rigorous planning to make sure that the activity will be
safe. What is an alternative way to conduct this activity?
Field trips are often considered a key part of the school experience. Students often look back on them
as some of their favorite and most memorable days of school. However, traditional field trips are not
always feasible options. They can be expensive, time-consuming to organize, and quite stressful in
action.
Perhaps your most simple and convenient option for a field trip alternative is to show your class about
documentary of different professions/job. Movies have a very unique ability to transport our learners
to other places, and documentaries in particular can be very educational and revealing about a
faraway place or topic. No matter the subject, you can find a documentary that your students will be
interested in.
3. Mrs. Cruz, a parent, went to your class confronting you because her daughter told her that you
moved the child’s seat away from her friends to make her concentrate on your lessons. Your actions
were triggered by her non submission of assignment and throwing a crumpled paper at you. How will
you explain your side to Mrs. Cruz?
Instantly thank the parent for bringing her concern to your attention. Apologize for both the problem
and for causing parents concern. Take any steps necessary to calm Mrs. Cruz and help her to relax.
Discuss with Mrs. Cruz about misbehavior of her child in a nice way and the reason why you move
her child away from her friends to make her concentrate on your lesson. Be careful the language
used when communicating with parents. End your conversation by reiterating that you’re going to
take care of the problem.
4. The general PTA meeting is fast approaching, and you need to ensure at least 90 percent
attendance of parents. How are you going to invite the parents to ensure their attendance and
participation?
To ensure their attendance and participation I will send home personal letters to notify parents of
conference dates. Outline an agenda that will interest them and emphasize the importance of the
conference to their children's education. Schedule conferences for students who have siblings in the
same school first and coordinate conference times with the siblings' teachers. Do everything possible
to avoid scheduling siblings' conferences on different days or at widely disparate times. Base the
length of the conferences on the needs of the students. If necessary, schedule two consecutive
periods with parents you suspect might require more time. Send home personal invitations to the
conferences and ask parents to RSVP by a specific date. Telephone parents who do not respond and
encourage them to attend. Send home reminders one week before the conferences. Contact parents
who do not show up and try to reschedule.
Required Task 2: Scenario Analysis Read the following scenarios. Write YES if it talks about a healthy
parent-teacher relationship and NO if otherwise.
_______NO____ 1. Benedick, a Grade 1 pupil, never speaks in the class of Teacher Consuelo.
Teacher Consuelo seeks for advice from Benedick’s previous teachers. Contrary to what she knows,
the teachers said that Benedick was a talkative pupil. During the distribution of cards, she talked to
the student’s mother and found out that after his father’s death, he got upset, which led to Benedick’s
disinterest in socialization. Teacher Consuelo consulted Benedick’s condition with the School
Guidance Counselor.
_____NO______ 2. Mrs. Maureen De Cello was an alumna of Bucao Integrated School and a mother
of a Kinder learner in the same school. She was impressed by the improvements made in the school
and expressed her willingness to contribute to the further improvement of the school. She asked the
teacher of her daughter, of what else she can contribute to the school. However, nothing came into
fruition.
______YES_____ 3. Angelo always skips class every afternoon. He never does his assignments too.
He is one of the struggling learners in Ms. Bada’s class. Since he has been acting this way for almost
two weeks, Ms. Bada immediately called his father, Mr. Cruz and set an appointment. She told Mr.
Cruz of Angelo’s behavior in school and he promised that he will be watchful of Angelo.
_______NO____ 4. During the online class where Janna is attending, she failed to understand the
instructions of the teacher because of internet connection failure. Mrs. Manza, her mother, sent a
message to her teacher and asked for further discussion about the instruction because Janna was
not able to get it correctly. Her teacher did not respond to her.
____YES_______ 5. Mrs. Hugo sent three activity sheets to Lerio’s house through the Barangay
Health Worker (BHW) for her to answer. As soon as Lerio finished answering, her mother brought
back the activity sheets to school. She explained that she is on her way to the market so she didn’t
wait for the BHW to come over and get back the activity sheets. Mrs. Hugo was very grateful.
