How to be your child’s advocate and your teacher’s ally—so they both have a fantastic school year
Teachers and parents have several things in common—including how difficult their jobs can be. But as a former educator, I can tell you it’s not primarily the kids who can make teachers’ work challenging. It’s the other grown-ups in the mix: administrators, board members, politicians. And, sometimes, parents.
I’m not saying you must volunteer to be a room parent, spend your weekends cutting out bulletin board decorations, or raise your hand to run the book fair. Instead, here’s what embracing your role as your child’s primary teacher looks like in practice: Be readily available to offer encouragement and support as your child works. Learning is often less about what your child does than how your child does it. So let’s help our children do more than complete their work; let’s help them understand it.Talking with your child’s teacher about educational goals shows you’re invested in your child’s success—and their teacher will love you for it.
This doesn’t mean you have to spend money on an extravagant gift. Hundreds of teachers told me their favorite gift was a handwritten thank-you note. Don’t be afraid to ask your child’s teacher what will make them feel genuinely appreciated.
