Working with families

A school I am familiar with: The Parent Teacher Association holds monthly conferences to discuss students’ performance, strengths and weaknesses. They offer strategies that the parents can use in the household to develop academic and behavioural skills. The committee has many fund raising activities so that the less fortunate could attend school and be outfitted with the necessary instruments to succeed throughout their schooling. These initiatives have opened the doors to many private stakeholders that willingly contribute to the cause making the teacher-parent-student bond strong.

I love the statement where you mentioned that the committee fundraises to help the needy. We'll have to steal that idea and be more proactive about how the funds are being used.

I can see PTA being effective.  In our education system, we are strongly  discouraged from asking parents for any type of donation, so to offset that a Parent Support Group can be formed.  they will be responsible for any fund raising and this will be used for the development of the school and the children in it.  this group holds meetings with the teachers present and are encouraged to suggest ways to improve teaching and learning.  If the parents feel their input are important they will be more inclined to support the decisions made by the teachers for teaching and learning.
