Other ways in which schools can work with families

School should make every effort to reach out and communicate with parents in a clear way. The school has, on the other hand, to listen to what families have to say. When a school is developing any improvement plans, the community leaders and families must be included at every stage in the process.

Another important point is to involve parents in decision making on certain school developments. Schools could give parents a more effective voice by opening up the governance process. Finally, the school should overcome barriers of any form, for example, language barriers.
