Session 2: Supporting Your Child at School, Friday, Sept. 24, 3 PM EDT
Asking how you can help shows that you want to partner with the teacher to make sure everybody has a good year. It can make teachers feel supported and reassure them that you’re available for further communication. Teachers who feel supported may be more likely to reach out to you before a problem becomes large and unmanageable. You can stay in touch by phone or email.
Linda Karanzalis provides you with the best ways to communicate effectively with your child’s teacher throughout the school year to ensure the child receives the supports and structures needed for success.
