Every parent wants to see equal opportunities for their beloved children. Every child deserves a chance to thrive.
It is important as a teacher or educationist to be patient and empathetic when dealing with kids and their parents. Be committed to supporting students outcomes through service orientation. Creating a welcoming learning environment makes one a resilient teacher.
Communicate clearly with the kid's parents so that they would have an understanding of what is going on with their child and where you are at the moment and how you need to be supported. The goal is to achieve effective learning outcomes collaboratively.
Don't assume the parents should know everything wrong with their child. Be eager to share any noticeable behaviours that are not aligning with the required values.
Interact with the students and parents for different purposes and in different context without prejudice. Maintain collaborative working relationships with your student and their families.
Collaborate and share ideas with parents on how to make academic journey of the children smoother.
Don't complain about parents and do not judge them. A parent who feels judged would not want to partner with you as a teacher.
Don't insult, criticize or insinuate that parents are ignorant. Avoid any sort of dramas with parents at school. Recognize your boundaries and deal with it professionally.
Be willing to answer all the endless questions that parents have. Communication is key. Establish a system where you can easily partner with parents in order to make a child achieve his or her potentials in life.
Treat every parent as equal. No Preferential treatment or sort because selective privileges are cancerous to the education system and is not ethical in this profession. All these makes you a resilient teacher!
May God bless all our teachers for the incredible job they do on this planet earth.
