Teachers who aren’t continuously working with parents are missing out. Parents have experiences and insights regarding their children that teachers will never have. Between all the complaints and concerns, teachers often forget what a valuable resource parents can be. And as professionals, teachers need to reach out to parents and share the responsibility of supporting students.

So how can teachers build these strong relationships and begin working with parents toward a common goal?

The new book, Your Personal Mentoring & Planning Guide for Working with Parents by Robert L. DeBruyn, author of The MASTER Teacher, can help your teachers build the mutual respect, trust, and confidence they need in parent-teacher relationships. This valuable resource will provide them with both the perspective and the techniques they need to relate to parents professionally and to secure the maximum benefits for students.

The following are key areas the book addresses in detail:

Introduction

  • The Precarious Position of Parents
  • The Rights of Parents
  • Sharing the Responsibility with Parents

Communicating with Parents

  • Teacher Attitude--Parent Attitude
  • Seven Commandments for Communicating with Parents
  • Actions to Open Lines of Communication with Parents
  • Sending Notes Home
  • Three Techniques for Listening
  • If You Want to Wow Parents

Relating to Parents

  • Parent Pressure
  • A Six-Step Plan for Handling Parent Complaints
  • Reaching Out to Parents
  • Handling and Helping Upset Parents
  • When Parents Get Angry

Conferencing with Parents

  • Dress for Respect
  • Preparing for a Conference with Parents
  • Conducting a Conference with Parents
  • The Third Personality

At the end of each chapter, teachers will also find a personal learning journal they can use to reflect upon and document the strategies they are utilizing and the work they are doing in each area—along with a checklist they can use to gauge their progress.

Every teacher should have a copy of this book! Buy copies for all the teachers in your school or district today!
