Education Matters Group – Tip of the Week 2019/20 – Open Parent Communication Matters!

Successful educators are confident in their abilities and not threatened when parents want to get into the classroom and make their opinions known. Good teachers also know they don’t have to follow what the parent recommends! Great teachers are able to work with all parties concerned with the primary focus to get the best possible outcomes for the child.
