A Teacher's Guide to Working with Parents

Teachers should not overlook the ways in which involving parents can make their jobs easier. In A Teacher's Guide to Working with Parents, Kenneth Shore provides numerous examples of opportunities for recruiting parents that will benefit the teacher, child, parent, and the entire class. Communication is key, and the guide provides multiple pages of suggestions for communicating effectively and consistently with parents. Because every teacher will at some point have to deal with difficult parents, the guide also provides an array of strategies for minimizing conflict and improving the dynamic with difficult parents.
