A Quick Guide to Parents: Top 5 ways to Support Approaches to Learning Development

Parents are our greatest allies. No questions there. 

But…

Do they always know exactly how to support us? 

How often do we, educators, communicate objectives and strategies? 

How exactly can they play a significant role in their children’s education?

Evidently, some of our students’ parents are busier than others, but the vast majority are incredibly willing to cooperate. After all, in our contexts, who does not want to see their children shine and succeed?

Uncertainty – and at times, great certainty – is what stands in the way of a strong partnership. As a mother, I have always appreciated when my son’s teachers tell me exactly how I can be of help. 

As our school moves forward with the development of PYP, MYP, and DP and robust practices, we wonder how we can empower our valued partners to support approaches to learning development. 

Coffee mornings, workshops, and newsletters are among a few practices we run to involve and inform parents of what is happening at Sekolah Ciputra. Our latest creation is a simple one, but we thought of sharing it with the whole PYP Dunia community and because we believe that ideas for strengthening teacher-parent partnerships are never too much.
